Tom Cruise-starrer ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ has proved to be a blockbuster! After a long hiatus, it brought back the audience to the cinema halls when there was a talk of OTT dominating the movie business. While the film is fetching great numbers commercially and garnering critical praise, Elon Musk is excited to watch the sequel to 1986 ‘Top Gun,’ which he claims is great.
‘Top Gun Maverick’ was screened at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival this year, and Tom Cruise was honored with the coveted Palme d’Or prize. Currently, the film has a $700 million gross collection and might touch the $1 billion mark. With fans singing praise for the film, the Tesla owner tweeted about his excitement to watch the sequel after re-watching the original ‘Top Gun’.

Elon, I highly recommend the IMAX format for Top Gun Maverick.
Reserve some seat in the middle rows of the theater. Too close to the screen is bad. Too far away is also bad.
Reserve a block of seats, arrive after the previews start, and enjoy it with a crowd. 👍
