In which Scott Mendelson notes that Top Gun: Maverick will pass $440 million domestic this weekend, thus beating the (inflation-adjusted) cume of the first Top Gun film - to properly become Tom Cruise's biggest domestic movie.

To pass the original's worldwide take, $875 million globally remains the bar.

american pilots were supposedly up against an enemy with superior planes so I guess that means aliens since the USA has the most advanced aircraft on the planet.  Weird how the advanced aliens didnt even have nucular bombs tho.

I’ve been listening to a few fighter pilot podcasts the last couple of weeks. According to some of the pilots involved with making the film, they needed to use the f-18 so they could actually put actors in the backseat and get it on camera. But in a real-world scenario they would have used 5th gen aircraft.
