The original Top Gun (1986) has been popular on streaming all summer
We heard your response that adding streaming charts to the weekend box office was too much / too confusing so we'll do them separately. It's interesting to know what people are watching even if the data is highly questionable with no checks and balances to accuracy; we mostly have to make due with what the streamers themselves release (and who knows what agendas they have when there's no way to verify their figures) or third party services that also have unknown metrics. But we digress.
Charts are for July 12th or thereabouts (hint: there's also no set system of when numbers are reported from service to service as there is with the world of theatrical releases...)

Despite wearing the title of the classic French play, Dangerous Liaisons is actually more of a remake of Cruel Intentions (which was itself a remake of Dangerous Liaisons). As for the rest of the list, we haven't yet seen them except RRR. We are delighted to report that everything you've heard is true. It is ridiculously fun with wonderful action setpieces if not enough musical numbers and it would have had some placements here in our "halfway mark best of 2022 article" -- especially in the "scene" categories -- had we seen it in time.
