The major Hollywood strike is hitting the industry hard. Numerous big productions are forced to push back their film projects, as reported by "Variety." For example, Paramount Pictures has had to move the release date of the second part of the Tom Cruise classic "Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning" to May 23, 2025. Originally, the film was supposed to hit theaters on June 28, 2024. Not only the date but also the title "Dead Reckoning Part Two" will change.

The sequel to the post-apocalyptic cinema hit "A Quiet Place: Day One" is also delayed by three months from its initial schedule. The film was supposed to be on the big screen on March 8, 2024, but fans will have to wait until June 28, 2024. A planned "Spongebob Squarepants" film is also delayed by seven months, shifting from May 23, 2025, to December 19, 2025.

These productions join the list of previously known cinema delays, including the tennis romance "Challengers," the sequel to the science fiction film "Dune," or the concluding part of the trilogy "Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse." The latter hasn't even received a new release date. However, there are exceptions: John Krasinski's (44) fantasy comedy "IF," starring Ryan Reynolds (47), Alan Kim (11), and Phoebe Waller-Bridge (38) in the leading roles, will be released earlier than planned, on May 17, 2024, instead of May 24, 2024.

This is why U.S. actors are on strike
Since July 14, 2023, members of the SAG-AFTRA union have been on strike against the film and television industry. It's the first actor strike in the USA since 1980 and the first time since 1960 that the acting and writing worlds are striking simultaneously. A central issue is fair compensation, especially for lesser-known actors, in the face of inflation. Additionally, people working in the industry are concerned about the future use of artificial intelligence and compensation from streaming services like Netflix.
