I’ve just added 150 UltraHD screen captures from Top Gun: Maverick into the photo gallery! Head over and check them out and don’t forget to purchase the film on your preferred streaming service!
The blockbuster arrives digitally on August 23rd, while disc versions will be released on November 1st!
VARIETY – Buckle up. As soon as next week, you’ll be able to watch Tom Cruise’s adrenaline-fueled flying missions in “Top Gun: Maverick” from the comfort of your couch. The box office-smashing sequel will be available to purchase digitally starting Aug. 23, while 4K Ultra HD, DVD and Blu-ray versions will release on Nov. 1.
The digital release includes 110 minutes of special features that take fans inside the making of the blockbuster hit, including a look at the intense film training the cast went through to prepare for the film’s unparalleled air battle scenes, a behind-the-scenes peek at how the crew captured Oscar-worthy aerial sequences and a conversation with Cruise about his personal passion for aviation as he pilots his own aircraft.
You’ll also be able to enjoy a master class with the “Top Gun” star, which was first recorded at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, in which he discusses his decade-spanning career. Plus, an extended version of the film features a hilarious scene that has Cruise pilot two different fighter planes alongside James Corden.
The Paramount sequel, directed by Joseph Kosinski and also starring Miles Teller, Glen Powell and Jon Hamm, smashed the box office when it premiered in May. It brought in more than $601.9 million domestically and $595.6 million internationally while in theaters, becoming the first movie of the year to surpass $1 billion worldwide.
“This buckle-up follow-up demonstrates why we feel the need for movie stars,” Variety film critic Owen Gleiberman wrote in his review. “It goes well beyond Cruise’s rah-rah involvement in what amounts to a glorified U.S. military recruitment commercial (the 1986 film might have been as perfectly calibrated as a Swiss watch, but it wasn’t subtle about its GI Joe agenda). It’s the way we identify with the guy when he’s doing what most of us thought impossible. Turns out we need Maverick now more than ever.”

COLLIDER – The event will run exclusively this weekend.
As Top Gun: Maverick continues to soar to box office heights, surpassing films like Titanic, Paramount has announced a “Fan Appreciation Weekend” event to thank audiences for all they’ve done to break box office records. To celebrate the film’s success, it will return to certain theatrical formats at select theaters, where fans will get to experience exclusive content prior to their screening of the film, including a behind-the-scenes look at what it was like shooting a film on a real, active Navy aircraft carrier.The exclusive Fan Appreciation footage will include a look at shooting on the USS Roosevelt, the aircraft carrier that served as part of the setting for the film’s third act. Select theaters will also hand out an exclusive collector’s print the film, commissioned by Paramount from UK artist Doaly. Of the rerelease and celebration, Chris Aronson, President, Domestic Distribution of Paramount Pictures said: “We are excited about the Maverick fanfare starting this Friday…a small token of our appreciation for the remarkable support we have received from fans. Paramount Pictures is eternally grateful to the millions of fans going to theatres to experience Top Gun: Maverick the way it was meant to be seen — on the big screen.”
Maverick has set a number of box office records since its release, including passing a billion dollars at the global box office (it’s up to $1.35 billion now) and surpassing James Cameron’s Titanic to claim the seventh highest spot in terms of domestic global box office. The movie has also become Paramount’s highest-grossing film globally ever and the highest-grossing feature of star Tom Cruise’s career.
The film continues to be a pillar of this year’s summer box office, with no home release date in sight, as fans continue to watch the story of Pete “Maverick” Mitchell as he trains a new generation of Top Gun graduates. Directed by Joseph Kosinski from a screenplay by Ehren Kruger, Eric Warren Singer, and Christopher McQuarrie, the film also stars the likes of Miles Teller, Glen Powell, Greg Tarzan Davis, Jay Ellis, Danny Ramirez, Lewis Pullman, Monica Barbo, Jon Hamm, Jennifer Connelly, and Val Kilmer.
