On January 24, according to foreign media reports, a number of streaming media platforms, including Apple TV+ and Netflix, were interested in buying the movie "Top Gun: Lone Ranger" so that the film could premiere on their platform, but the production company still insisted on releasing it in theaters after considering it, causing heated discussion among netizens.
Some netizens feel that they do not understand, that according to the current form of the epidemic, it is too easy to lose money in the theater line, but some people agree with the company's approach, thinking that it is meaningless to shoot movies directly to stream media, or to watch the most valuable ticket price on the big screen.
Netizens' worries are actually not unreasonable, before "Top Gun: Lone Ranger" has been postponed once, from the original June 24, 2021 to December 23, North America release, the time span is extremely large.
However, with the popularity of the film, I believe that even if the schedule is postponed, the box office of the film will not be greatly affected, after all, this is the sequel to the classic movie "Top Gun" after 35 years.
"Top Gun" tells the inspirational story of Pete Mitchell, nicknamed the Lone Ranger, who aspired to become a pilot hero under the influence of her father, and the film became popular throughout the United States after its release in 1986, and directly made the lead actor Tom Cruise a well-deserved Hollywood frontline.
Set 30 years after the first film, Pitt is confronted with entirely new challenges and missions, during which he also meets Bradley, the son of his late friend Nick Bradshaw, who also became a pilot, and the relationship between the two may be the same as that of a mentor and friend.
Bradley's new role will be played by Miles Teller, after the filmmakers released a new character poster, which raised the expectations of netizens to the highest.
"Top Gun: The Lone Ranger" will be released in North America on July 2, and I hope the movie will not be postponed.
