10 Upcoming Movies Destined To Bomb At The Box Office
4. Top Gun: Maverick
Like Firestarter, Top Gun: Maverick has the unfortunate honour of facing off against Doctor Strange In The Multiverse of Madness and Jurassic World: Dominion at the box office.
Whilst these two blockbusters alone are sure to drown Maverick out for the most part, there's also the lingering issue that the Top Gun follow-up is another money-grab legacy sequel aiming to profit off nostalgia more than anything else.
All of this without getting into Tom Cruise's recent box office track record, which has been tepid at best outside of the Mission: Impossible series, and its constant delays due to the pandemic weakening the hype around it.
Maverick will get some fans of the 80s classic in seats, but don't expect it to justify its $150 million price tag in a major way.
