Tom Cruise<\/strong> He was perhaps the only one who knew how to see in Hollywood that reducing the importance of theatrical releases in favor of streaming was a mistake. The overwhelming success of ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ made it clear that he was right and now the very Steven Spielberg<\/strong> he wanted to thank you.<\/p>\n

Spielberg’s words<\/h2>\n

It is true that Spielberg and Cruise worked together years ago on ‘Minority Report’ and ‘The War of the Worlds’, but the relationship between the two cooled a lot. In fact, it is not very clear when was the last time they had spoken, but now They met again during the Oscars lunch<\/strong> and the filmmaker has taken the opportunity to say the following to the actor:<\/p>\n

Let’s remember that Spielberg had already expressed his doubts about the world of streaming more than once, but his latest works have been far from conquering the public as he did in the past with great ease. Perhaps for this reason he is even more aware of the enormous importance of the success of ‘Top Gun: Maverick’<\/strong>a film that was delayed several times and that Cruise flatly refused to release on streaming.<\/p>\n

Then it is true that ‘Avatar: The Sense of Water’ has far exceeded the figures of ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ and also that ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ also raised more by opening earlier, but the narrative that has prevailed is that the movie starring Cruise has been the one that has helped change things. And if even Spielberg believes it, I won’t be the one to disagree with him.<\/strong><\/p>\n
