Top Gun Maverick

The original was dumb. So not sure if I will like this one.

Son, your mouth is writing checks your body can't cash.

Would you put either the IMAX or 4DX as the preferred way to go watch the movie?

I preferred the 4DX for TGM. But I am pretty sure other movies I would prefer the IMAX

In the three months since “Top Gun: Maverick” (Paramount) opened, its box office performance domestic ($658 million) and foreign ($674 million) deserved nearly all the hype. And when it reaches $660 million domestic, “Maverick” will — in unadjusted numbers — become the biggest-grossing Paramount release in its history, replacing the 1997 release of “Titanic.”

Here’s Why ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ Is Bigger Than ‘Titanic’: It Saved the Movies

Here's why "Top Gun Maverick" did not become the biggest film in Paramount box-office history, but is already the most important.

Not bad at all. Also not unexpected.

That being said, as long as the money rolls in, I think they will keep it exclusive to cinemas to at least October / November before announcing a streaming release.

And it turned out to be probably one of the best movies made the past 2 decades.

Subjective. Box office success just means the average air-fryer owner had FOMO and had to go see it like they had to make sweet potato fries after seeing it on Tik-Tok

This was hardly Mulholland Drive.

My god you're such a cool little contrarian...

No, I thought that up myself from having watched the first movie

 

[WaxLyrical]

There's no way there won't be a sequel?

 

[Romeo_RX]

Heads up, the original is back on Netflix!

I disagree. Maverick is in a completely different league to the original. I personally found the original weak and only a movie for it's time. Maverick on the other hand was one of the best movies I have ever had the privilege to see.

Lewis Hamilton was set to star as a fighter pilot in Top Gun: Maverick

But seven-time world champ had to turn it down to focus on climax of 2021 season

Really? Maverick felt like movie-making by checklist.
High speed flying, check.
Musical number, check.
Moustache, check.
Beach and babyoil, check.
Relationship drama, check.
Personal grudge, check.
