#9 on Netflix. People getting ready. Cool and all. As far as the movie goes, I don’t remember anything that would require the first film (and honestly, it does create an odd timeline gap), but yeah, I’m thinking this opens big.

#7 on Netflix today. So just to get the nostalgia pumping...
That's some massive big 80s hair. But you gotta love a good guitar solo.

"Masculine, pro-American... towers over woke flops" Part of me wondered if this would be a box office situation akin to American Sniper where conservative America came out in droves to see it...

4% of the audience seeing it 4 times is nuts, that's a lot of people. Audiences love this thing. I enjoyed it but once is good enough for me.
I don't really see the conservative association with Top Gun as arbitrary. Even at the time in 86 you had articles comparing it to Platoon as the two polar opposite kind of war movies and neocons have always loved it as a Cold War victory lap full of American iconography like the beach scenes and that shot of Cruise in front of the giant American flag. This is very much like an American Sniper situation where you've got people coming out in droves who usually are not the target audience for movies these days.

The box office run is impressive. A non super hero movie making over 600 mill? Damn...
After seeing it I think it boils down to people loving cruise as maverick and he's an underdog. People had someone to root for. It's just a positive movie experience. The flying scenes are amazing too.

Wouldn't be surprised if this wins Best Picture. Now cue the deniers who get every prediction wrong every single year

This fucking man! Will not stop sending my anxiety into overdrive! I thought it was hilarious when the camera panned a little to the right to showcase his bulge at the 1-minute mark
