Top Gun: Maverick passed the $1 billion mark over the weekend, making the film the highest grossing movie of the year.
This marks Tom Cruise’s first movie to pass $1 billion, with Mission Impossible: Fallout coming in second at $791.1 million, according to Vanity Fair.
The impressive part is not just that the sequel earned its box office profits without being shown in Russia or China, but it still passed Doctor Strange: Multiverse of Madness. Meanwhile, Disney continues its efforts at going woke by inserting a lesbian kiss into Lightyear.
Of course, doing so was not without its consequences. Disney and Pixar decided to enter into politics by inserting the sexual preferences of their animated characters into a children’s film. Actor Chris Evans defended the decision, going so far as to call those who disagreed “idiots,” according to Reuters.
Ironically enough, Evans also said, “There’s always going to be people who are afraid and unaware and trying to hold on to what was before, but those people die off like dinosaurs,” according to People.
The irony? Lightyear couldn’t beat the dinosaurs at the box office.

The perverts are full of hate.
The Left these days is just as militarist as the right. All Democrats voted to send $40 billion in arms to Ukraine.
Chris Evans is a super left lib douche bag. Tom Cruise has been money for 41 years.
watched with my granddaughter USNA 2024 We loved it.
Top Gun 2 is a great film because it respects the original while still continuing the story. It does not push any wokeness or politics; it’s just an action-packed movie filmed with its audience in mind, resulting in a film that lets you feel like you’re flying with the pilots. Its about time the rest of Hollywood learns “go woke, go broke.”
Going to see it again with the grandkids.
Pervert Projection.
Went to see it yesterday. Living at Miramar during the release of the first Top Gun movie set up some location questions in the plot but the movie all-in-all lived up to the online reputation.
Tom Cruise’s second movie to surpass $1 billion will be Mission: Impossible Dead Reckoning Part I.
Reminds me of others who embraced a monstrous future because of its "inevitability". And "new" doesn't imply "better". It can equally well imply "much worse".
Tom sent out a tweet on his Twitter account to thank everybody for supporting the movie and going to movies. Which I thought was great this is a guy who appreciates his audience
What a waste of time to talk about this on this site.2
So now he’s so popular we’re going to pay attention to his political beliefs, really.
....... Well .... Just Damn ... Time to cash in on the popularity of this flik and make a low budget Comedy called .... "Bottom Gun."
Top Gun: Maverick was ok...
But I’m surprised no one comment the attack on the nuclear plant is a rip off copy of star wars attack on the death star (and that was a rip off 633 Squadron)
I’ve enjoyed Chris Evans in some roles, but when I want
political commentary, he’s an expert in beeswax. No thanks.
These people get one movie under their belt, and they think
they are instantly experts on everything.
He began shooting his mouth off politically, after this first
role as Captain America.
Talk about casting opposites...
I liked this sequel better than the first one.
The p51 was a nice touch.
