The box office titan scored his highest-grossing film with Top Gun: Maverick, which by December had grossed nearly $1.5 billion at the box office on a budget of just $170 million, according to The Numbers.
“Tom Cruise showed us that going to the movies was back,” declared Sherry Lansing, giving Cruise a brilliant introduction. You are an exceptional person and you have had a tremendous impact on my career.
Commanding the podium, Cruise began his speech by talking about his love of movies growing up: “When I didn’t have the money, I would find a way to sneak in.”
He went on to add: ‘I like to see people do well. I know things don’t just happen. I know it’s not just luck.
‘You have to create that luck. You have to want it to exist. I want you to know that I am always supporting you. I’m rooting for all of you.’
