I haven’t seen it so I can’t judge, but do you think the new Top Gun has a shot because of industry chatter you’ve heard of because you think it’s that good?

Its got the perfect storm a genre film, especially a legacy sequel, needs to get in:

- Great critical reviews

- Great audience reactions

- Amazing box office that left a cultural footprint

- Its not a superhero movie much less an MCU flick; which means no grudges held against it by some key voters which means it can stand out as something special

Chatter I'm hearing is that this is seen as a much needed prescription to the industry's box office issues in regard to superhero movies dominating. The only thing that could perhaps nosedive its chances is if we see something similar with Avatar: The Way Of Water; which will have a late release and could make some easily forget about a movie that came out back in May
