And he sees this as a great opportunity to earn money, renting the portal to other people, including the actor himself.

The hype surrounding the nominations of Top Gun: Maverick seems to be dissipating, but the film remains firm and strong in the ranking of most watched films of the week. And such success is surprising, especially if we take into account that it has been flying around here since it debuted on digital services in mid-2022.
Unquestionably one of the best films of 2022, Top Gun: Maverick rescues the franchise and its characters in a masterful way. With a healthy dose of nostalgia, the film manages to continue the story of Pete “Maverick” Mitchell in the Air Force more than 30 years later. And this merging of the old with the new is done in a spectacular way.
