Overview
- The one-week 40th‑anniversary run pairs the 1986 original with 2022’s Top Gun: Maverick, with tickets going on sale Tuesday, April 21, according to Paramount and Tom Cruise’s post.
- The original will screen in premium and immersive formats, including IMAX, Dolby Cinema, D-BOX, 4DX and ScreenX, which marks the first time it has been offered in several of these formats.
- Paramount also set a Top Gun Day on May 13 that offers a limited-edition collectible print at participating theaters while supplies last.
- Paramount confirmed at CinemaCon that Top Gun 3 is in development with Tom Cruise and producer Jerry Bruckheimer attached, with Ehren Kruger writing as trade reports suggest Joseph Kosinski may not return to direct.
- Box-office analysts say the brief event should deliver a modest boost, noting Maverick’s about $1.49 billion global haul and projecting the franchise’s domestic total likely crosses $900 million but not $1 billion during the weeklong re-release, with India screenings starting May 15.
