I admit to only frequent these halls when there’s a movie I care for, and somehow you are always the one to bring doom and gloom to the proceedings. Why do you do that?

If anyone took that post seriously... well, I am not sure what to tell you all.

@IronJimbo so we're using this as multi for A to A2 right?

Why do we not have major release films focused on flying? The photography is simply beautiful. The major money shots from historically great marketing campaigns for IRON MAN, PEARL HARBOR, TRANSFORMERS, INDEPENDENCE DAY all focused on aerial battles. The shots of the wave of helicopters in the ads for BLACK HAWK DOWN were stunning. Even AVATARS major money shots were they flying on those huge birds. Audiences love a good aerial dog fight. 

 

This movie gonna do for fighter jets what Apocalypse Now and Black Hawk Down did for helicopters.

I don't know if this is confirmed yet but on reddit an article was posted claming this movie has a 120 day exclusive window

Absolutely incredible number even if it isn't a true Thursday. I'm halfway through the movie now, and it's been a blast so far! Hopefully the third act keeps up the pace!

I live outside the US, so intermissions are still a thing here.

@Porthos and @keysersoze123 you guys were so right. You predicted huge numbers

[BruiseCruise]

@Porthoswhat kind of 3 day numbers did sac point to?

[KJsooner]

Saw Top Gun 2 yesterday. Incredible. Definitely a must watch. Might go see it again in theaters this weekend.

They should’ve called it Top Gun 2: Worth the Wait.

 

Easily my favorite movie of the year(Haven’t seen EEAAO yet).

Curious to see what Cruise does post TG and MI movies. Hope he doesn't go back to doing generic crap like Jack Reacher or The Mummy or whatever. 

 

He's a really underrated dramatic actor, I'd love to see him in a non-action role again

I have heard he still wants to play Les Grossman again.

 

The obvious solution is a movie where Les Grossman is producing the new Tom Cruise movie and getting pissed that that sawed off little punk keeps trying to get himself killed.

[BruiseCruise]

Cruise is gonna 

Spoiler

play iron man in secret wars

The whole marketing campaign of TGM is seriously worth a praise. They organised multiple tours across the globe, from USA to Mexico City, from UK to tokyo, just to have actual in person premiere with jet fighters hyping up the event. Tom cruise is exercising and flexing his international star power to the max this round to deliver an event of the decade. See this video to get what they have achieved.

To be fair he did this for Mission Impossible 3 back in the day, remember the jet ski?

For some reason adblock got turned off when I was browsing reddit and this is the first ad I get:

Sandra Bullock already put that theory to bed a few months ago

I say this as someone who likes superhero and animated films but it feels good again to have a blockbuster that isn’t one of things.
