Looking at the Weekend: Jun. 3-5, 2022

There’s nothing to keep Top Gun: Maverick from maintaining the top spot. While this week’s new release is going to top itself since it has no other competition, I could also imagine it placing outside the top ten.

Patrick (PP): The historical aspects of the film look exquisite, but the trite love story looks boring. Thomas LaTourette (TL): It could and should be an exciting film but the trailer does the film no favors by making it just a love story and seemingly nothing more than that.
