Succén fortsätter: Top Gun är nu Cruises största film
Tom Cruise är återigen ”kungen av tittarsiffror”, skriver Variety om den nya filmen ”Top Gun Maverick”. Efter den första succéhelgen håller de höga siffrorna i sig även den här helgen – och som det ser ut kommer publikminskningen mellan den första och andra helgen att bli historiskt liten.
Filmen är redan skådespelarens största hittills i USA. Även i utlandet har filmen fått ett mycket varmt mottagande och intäkterna är redan större än från den första ”Top Gun”.
Hollywood Reporter konstaterar visserligen att filmen på ett globalt plan fortfarande är långt ifrån att nå upp till intäkterna från de senaste ”Mission Impossible”-filmerna. En av anledningarna är att den nya filmen inte släpps i Kina och Ryssland.
