As Top Gun: Maverick continues to smash new records with its enduring box office success, Paramount Pictures has announced a special “fan appreciation weekend” as a way of celebrating with the fans. Just recently, the film surpassed Titanic to become the seventh-highest grossing movie of all time at the domestic box office. Starting this Friday, Aug. 12, and going through Sunday, Aug. 14, participating theaters will feature screenings of the film that include new, exclusive content.
“Paramount Pictures is eternally grateful to the millions of fans going to theaters to experience Top Gun: Maverick the way it was meant to be seen — on the big screen,” Chris Aronson, President, Domestic Distribution of Paramount Pictures, said in a statement. “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.”

Prior to the screening of the movie, fans will be treated to a behind-the-scenes look at shooting onboard the USS Roosevelt with Tom Cruise and other cast members showing what it takes to “operate, film, and live on an active warship.” A new Maverick collector’s print designed by UK artist Doaly will also be given away to ticketholders at participating theaters while supplies last.
Top Gun: Maverick recently surpassed $662.5 million domestically and $690 million in overseas markets, bumping it past Titanic as it continues to rise as one of cinema history’s all-time most successful films. It is Paramount Pictures’ highest-grossing movie globally ever as well as the highest-grossing movie of lead star Tom Cruise’s career.
