So you're saying Top Gun makes as much sense as a Marvel movie.

Depending upon Marvel movie we are comparing against I think it might make more cents

RT reviews good except one numbskull who sees it as a war recruitment propaganda film.

The film was based on Ehud Yonay's article “Top Guns” in California, which recounted the real-life exploits of pilots at the Navy's San Diego airbase — nicknamed “Fightertown U.S.A.” A draft of a screenplay based on the story eventually made it into the hands of blockbuster producers Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer

many movie reviewers believe they are on a social mission-actually reviewing the merits of a film irrelevant.

Finally got to see it with Dad for Father's Day. Yes, it was supposed to be yesterday, but my Dad wanted to go a day with less people. 

I haven't had that much fun in a theater in a long time.

this perfectly sums up the movie.

@Bosco685 can you give me the breakdown on how much it cost to make/advertise and distribute maverick vs total net profit?

No. There are only analytical models people use to guesstimate profit. Even the reporting sites like Box Office Mojo or the numbers never reference these details, as they can't be validated. Other debits and credits you would need:

1. Crew or cast profit-sharing deals
2. Product placement revenue
3. Special film location incentives (taxes, purchase discount rates)
4. Cast actual vs. reported salaries (passion project pay discounts)
5. Home theater release: (bluray/DVD/Digital) and streaming/TV distribution

Deadline will most probably have this in its annual box office results contest. Its guesstimates should be more refined. Depending how inclined the senior editor is in being even-handed.

Quote

Top Gun: Maverick has become only the third Hollywood movie of the pandemic era to cross the $900 million mark at the worldwide box office in the latest milestone for the Paramount and Skydance movie.

 

According to Paramount, more than 16 percent of Top Gun 2′s audience has seen the film more than once in theaters, while 4 percent have seen it four times or more.

 

Top Gun: Maverick is also Paramount’s biggest live-action movie in 15 markets, including the U.K., Australia, France and Brazil, as well as the studio’s highest-grossing original release at the domestic box office behind Titanic.

'pandemic era' - I thought that was behind us?

i'm at 3, and would have no problem sitting thru it again.

We went two weeks ago.  Originally I wanted to see it but she did not until she saw a few commercials and saw the reviews.  She then surprised me with tickets.   This was her first time seeing a movie in the theater since before the pandemic and my third.  So the marketing campaign is drawing people in. 
 

This is not a movie to see at home on your TV.  Find the biggest baddest screen possible with the best sound system and recliner seats.  
 

We walked out like everyone else did, grinning and saying how much fun it was.  
 

I actually liked this better than the original.

Yes on all counts.  Far superior to the original.
