OutKick Reports: Legendary film director Steven Spielberg had some kind, and possibly accurate, words for Tom Cruise recently.

Spielberg and Cruise were at the Oscar’s nominee luncheon recently, where they ran into each other during the event.

Spielberg pulled Cruise aside and told him that, quite frankly, Top Gun: Maverick may have “saved Hollywood’s ass.”



He went even further, saying the movie may have saved the “entire theatrical” experience and industry singlehandedly.
