‘Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning' Set For China Release On May 30 As Trade Tensions Ease
Paramount Pictures' Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, which premiered here in Cannes on Wednesday, has been cleared for a May 30 release in China.
The film has passed censorship and been dated despite the China Film Administration's recent announcement that it would 'moderately reduce' the number of U.S. films imported into the country in response to U.S. President Donald Trump's 145% tariffs on Chinese goods.

However, the U.S. and China recently agreed to cancel some of the tariffs they'd imposed on each other after Trump's escalation, and pause others for 90 days, following talks between the two nations in Geneva.
Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning is being released in China just one week after its North America release on May 23 through Paramount.
Disney's Thunderbolts* is currently on release in China and since the announcement of the 'moderate reduction' three other US studio titles have been dated – The Accountant 2 (May 16), Lilo & Stitch (May 23) and How To Train Your Dragon (June 13).
Other foreign films scheduled for release in China in coming weeks include Brazilian Best International Feature Oscar winner, I'm Still Here, which is opening today, and the re-release of Japanese filmmamker Shunji Iwai's 1995 Love Letter, which is scheduled for May 20.
