3 Years Later, the Movie Steven Spielberg Claimed “Saved Hollywood” Soars to New Heights on Streaming

Nearly four years ago, when the world was still recuperating from the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic and folks were anxious about stepping into cinemas to catch the newest releases on the big screen, one movie came along and changed all of that. Thanks to the work of the cast and crew behind Joseph Kosinski’s Top Gun: Maverick, audiences were eager to return to theaters for the type of exhilarating experience that only a high-octane movie of its caliber can provide. Even the great Steven Spielberg was grateful to the film’s star, Tom Cruise, and the other hardworking professionals involved with the production, as he’s quoted as telling his former Minority Report and War of the Worlds star: “You saved Hollywood’s ass and you might have saved theatrical distribution.” Now, audiences are welcoming the roaring engines and drama-heavy storyline of Top Gun: Maverick into their homes as, according to FlixPatrol, it’s climbing the global Top 10 charts on Paramount+.
