Paramount recently revealed at CinemaCon 2026 that Top Gun 3 is officially in the works, with its lead actor, Tom Cruise, returning for the much-anticipated threequel, as per Variety. And now, it has been announced that the first two films, Top Gun and Top Gun: Maverick, will be re-released in theaters on May 13, 2026, but just for one week.
When the original Tony Scott-directed film was released in theaters in 1986, it initially received mixed reviews from critics. However, the aerial action drama later gained a cult following among audiences and went on to gross $357.3 million worldwide, as per Box Office Mojo.

Despite the odds, the film earned a whopping $1.504 billion globally, garnered widespread praise, and became the biggest hit of Tom Cruise‘s career.
