Tom Cruise in the pilot’s uniform, the characteristic sunglasses and the old Ninja motorcycle managed to convince the audience to go to the cinema from the first days of the screening of the film Top Gun: Maverick according to Variety.
The film is a “cocktail” of nostalgia, with modern effects and fighter jets such as the F-18, but also Val Kilmer returning to the role of “Iceman” in a moving scene.
The movie made a record of receipts for its premiere weekend, grossing $ 134 million in 4,732 North American theaters. This is due to the rave reviews he received, the large doses of nostalgia and the fact that Cruz returned to the cockpit to perform real aerial stunts as pilot Pete “Maverick” Mitchell.
Franchise Entertainment Research’s David Gross described the three-day film as “Excellent! “The original material remains strong, the execution is excellent and Tom Cruise makes it work flawlessly.”
At the international box office, the film reached $ 124 million, although it is not shown in China and Russia. The spectators over 40 years old, gave a potential presence, when the specific age group is the most reluctant to return to the halls.
“Top Gun: Maverick” continues an amazing series of receipts for Paramount, marking the fifth film to start without the help of comics or angry dinosaurs, with a “heavy” production budget of $ 170 million. After many delays (scheduled for release in the summer of 2020), Maverick returned to the “Top Gun” Navy School to train a new generation of demanding shooters under the direction of Joseph Kozinski.
“This film will go a long way. “It will attract people to rooms that have not been around for a long time,” said Chris Aronson, head of Paramount Home Distribution.
In addition to Tom Cruise and Val Kilmer, co-stars Miles Teller, Jennifer Connelly and John Hamm.
