.” Both Spielberg and Cruise are in the running for best picture this year thanks to “The Fabelmans” and “Top Gun: Maverick,” respectively.
“You saved Hollywood’s ass and you might have saved theatrical distribution,” Spielberg said to Cruise in a video originally shared on Instagram by director Kartiki Gonsalves, whose film “Who Can Say No to Baby Elephants!” is nominated for best documentary short film. Cruise was left blushing.“Top Gun: Maverick” was the second movie to gross over $1 billion at the worldwide box office amid the pandemic, following “Spider-Man: No Way Home.” With a $1.
Although “No Way Home” grossed more, that was a Marvel movie with three generations of Spider-Man actors in it. “Maverick’s” success was not pre-ordained and it was a rare old-fashioned hit that legged out at the box office for months based on worth of mouth. According to Paramount, repeat customers fueled the momentum for “Maverick.” By its fourth weekend in North American movie theaters, 16% of the audience had returned more than once and 4% had returned three times or more.
TopGunMaverick definitely the only movie that pulled me into the theater. Hadn't been in over 5 years and haven't been back since. TomCruise TopGunMovie TopGun_Official
TopGunMovie Tom Cruise is acting was so spectacular in this movie that I actually thought he was an American. Almost fooled us TomCruise
TopGunMovie Tom😏🔥
This is your daily reminder that TomCruise supports a human trafficking cult called Scientology
He should thanks James Cameron
Sounds a bit hyperbolic. But that’s Hollywood for ya!
He literally did! No wonder, he's the biggest movie star ont he world.
I watched this movie six times and my mother 18 times. This is the first time I have seen the same movie many times. It's true that he saved the cinema!
Not even Tom Cruise with Top Gun can save the industry.
Damn rights he did
TopGunMaverick is a great success for Hollywood, but let's not forget about Godzilla vs Kong being the 1st real blockbuster to give confidence in theatrical model during the height of the pandemic, and Spider-man: No Way Home earning more than both films.
TopGunMovie Since then, the theater I saw Top Gun 2 in has gone out of business.
Nobody’s fault but theirs, Go woke go broke.
robertliefeld He didn’t save shit.

Spider-Man didn't make nearly $2B without China to let this boomer take the credit.
That's Right!!
If TopGunMaverick doesn't win multiple Oscars, I will be pissed. TopGunMovie and Tom Cruise just didn't save the movie industry but provided one of the best movies of all time. They already messed up not nominsting him as the best actor Tom Cruise is a legend. 👍👊🏼✈️❤️
It didn’t make spiderman numbers, but it stuck around. More than three months and number one on both sides of summer. That’s unreal.
Tom is a Legend and the last real movie star 🤟🏻
TopGunMovie
Nah he didn't. He just had a massively successful film
TopGunMovie Tom is amazing, wonderful, fantastic. ❤️❤️❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
And AMC is doing its damnedest to kill it
I would like to go to a theater as soon as they show the adult movies I want to see in the main theater. You know, the serious ones.
I love how they tried cancel Tom but he just keeps coming back bigger & better. He really is the biggest box office lead star Hollywood has ever known. 40 years at the top. The very top. Hi Leah remini . Keep using his name for clout
This is so not true, but Maverick was 🔥 ngl
noway home did 800m$+ in dom ! and brought ppl to theaters when omicron wave was there ?! but yeah who cares !
Ah yes, let us heap praise on the cult poster boy.
Are we pretending Hollywood isn’t atrophying right now? Is that what we are doing?
The HIGHEST compliment one professional could offer another.
😂
MovieMantz 👀🥊🥊
Spiderman did that
Thats a huge stretch when you remember Top Gun Maverick is literally the plot from Star Wars.
Someone explain to me how he saved cinema
