While at national box office, it reached the Top 1 of rankingedging out “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” which held the top spot for three weeks.
In “Top Gun: Maverick”, Pete ‘Maverick’ Mitchell (Tom Cruise) is responsible for mentoring the new group of professionals trained by Top Gun, which is getting smaller every day because drones have become so popular and economical in recent years. So, in order to attempt a near-suicide mission with the enemy, he will need to teach pilots how to be impeccable in their performance, but problems from the past increasingly surround him, making it difficult to maintain complete success without losing his true essence.
The list also has Miles Teller (“The Offer”), Glen Powell (“Stars Beyond Time”), Jennifer Connelly (“Tomorrow Express”), Jon Hamm (“On the Run”), Ed Harris (“The Lost Daughter”) and Lewis Pullman (“The Strangers: Prey at Night”). Val Kilmer also returns to Part 2 reprising Ice Man.
