Tom Cruise and others applaud after the screening of ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ at Cannes. Paramount Pictures ’awareness is through the roof at Maverick, and it deserves a shout out to Paramount’s marketing team. It is very likely that the promotional campaign was visible from space. The film was screened in Las Vegas (where victims and public outbursts were heard) and then premiered worldwide in San Diego with Cruise arriving by helicopter on the deck of the USS Midway. From there, the team traveled to Mexico City and then to Cannes, where the film was greeted with a high step and Cruise was celebrated by the festival with an honorary Palme d’Or and a standing ovation. . The next day, the Top Gun crew went to London for the Royal Film Performance and in Japan, Yokohama Osanbashi Pier offered a pre-release fireworks display at IMAX, all of which aired on direct to four additional IMAX rooms across the country.
All in all, as Bashir Salahuddin’s Hondo tells Maverick, “And we’re leaving.” We will have more news over the weekend.
