Steven Spielberg Is Right About Top Gun: Maverick's Success

Steven Spielberg's comments to Tom Cruise about Top Gun: Maverick's industry impact couldn't be more accurate judging from box office developments.

While Steven Spielberg might have been exaggerating when he told Tom Cruise that Top Gun: Maverick saved cinema, the director was not wrong about the Top Gun sequel’s impact on the industry. Very few movies can boast Top Gun: Maverick’s combination of critical acclaim and financial success.

Top Gun: Maverick was the first blockbuster that did extraordinary business without requiring the caveat "...for a post-COVID release." While Tenet was an outright flop, No Time To Die performed well internationally but still struggled to reach or surpass pre-pandemic box-office norms. Spider-Man: No Way Home was undeniably a massive success, but the late 2021 release had the benefit of the MCU’s considerable clout behind it.
