“Top Gun: Maverick,” a film released globally in the summer of 2022 starring Tom Cruise, has crossed over $1 billion in sales as of July 4, 2022. Cruise’s popularity, charisma, and fearless mindset helped his latest hit become so profitable.
This new movie is a sequel to a 35-year-old action film. To many avid movie watchers, “Top Gun: Maverick” is far superior to the original film and many other action films.
While filming the movie, Cruise unrelentingly urged his fellow actors to act realistically with minimal computer-generated effects, video editing, and green screens. Cruise’s obsessive encouragement meant flying airplanes at G-force speeds and pushing his co-actors’ bodies until some of them reached the point of regurgitation.
According to Calum Marsh, a journalist from the New York Times, “Some of Cruise’s co-stars over the years have characterized his obsessiveness as extreme to the point of what sounds like cinematic despotism.” These words from Cruise’s peers show how devoted he is to the acting industry. Cruise’s dedication, influence, and fearlessness ensure that his films, like “Top Gun: Maverick,” are of high quality.
Conversely, while he is not working, Cruise is secretive, elusive, and cryptic. After Moviebill magazine asked him to describe his most memorable moviegoing experience, he responded with, “I love movies.” Similarly, after being asked whether he was rooting for the San Francisco Giants or the Los Angeles Dodgers at a baseball game, Cruise replied, “I’m a fan of baseball.”
This elusive side of him might be why he is such an alluring actor to many people. It creates an incentive for global audiences to learn more about him through his films on the big screen. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Cruise has denied offers to premier “Top Gun: Maverick” on popular online streaming platforms like Amazon Prime Video and Netflix to continue his lucrative career built upon cinematic blockbusters on the big screen.
As described by Marsh, “Cruise the star burns as bright as any of his contemporaries and far brighter than any who have come up since, in part because he continues to throw more and more of himself into his work and give up less and less of himself everywhere else.” With the recent release of “Top Gun: Maverick,” Cruise proves his unwavering dedication to the creation of remarkable films that amaze and inspire the world.
