‘Top Gun’ Set For 40th Anniversary Theatrical Re-Release

Paramount Pictures is re-releasing Top Gun in cinemas to mark the film’s 40th anniversary. 

The film will land in cinemas on May 13 and will be available for one week alongside Top Gun: Maverick, which is also heading back to cinemas. 

Tom Cruise announced the re-release with a short post on his social accounts yesterday. 

“If you feel the need…Two films. One big screen. Back in theaters, May 13th, for one week only,” Cruise posted alongside a trailer post. 

Last week at Cinemacon, Paramount confirmed that a third Top Gun movie is currently in development. Deadline reported in 2024 that a third film in the franchise was in development with Ehren Kruger returning to write the script.
