That the high-flying 'Top Gun: Maverick' has at last hit theaters May 24 signals at least a momentary vote of confidence in movie theaters. The movie industry hasn't had much to be optimistic about in recent years, with pandemic disruptions and the rise of streaming delivering a one-two punch to theaters.Īn understandably skittish Warner Brothers sent its entire 2021 theatrical slate onto HBO Max, a boost to their streamer but a blow to the bottom line, while The Last of the Great Movie Stars, Tom Cruise, saw his hotly anticipated 'Top Gun' sequel rescheduled six times from its original release date of 2019.
