Laurence Fishburne's sci-fi thriller 'Slingshot' has unexpectedly dethroned Tom Cruise's 'Top Gun: Maverick' as the most popular movie on Paramount+. The poorly reviewed film, which flopped at the box office, has seen a surprising resurgence on the streaming platform.
If there's one man who can defeat Tom Cruise on his home turf of Paramount+ it's Laurence Fishburne. Yes, that's right, Fishburne has dethroned Cruise’s Top Gun: Maverick from its seemingly permanent place atop the Paramount+ streaming charts with his abysmally reviewed 2024 sci-fi thriller, Slingshot, which has improbably skyrocketed to the top spot on the platform, beating out one of the most beloved blockbusters of recent years. Talk about a maverick performance.
It’s a surprising resurgence for a film that initially debuted in August 2024 to little fanfare, disappearing from cinemas almost as quickly as it arrived. Slingshot grossed just $818,279 worldwide, with most of that coming from North America, making it a box office flop. But what do home audiences love more than a film they've never heard of?
Slingshot and Top Gun: Maverick are both streaming now on Paramount+. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates on all your favorite movies streaming.
