<p>Legendary actor Tom Cruise filmed a special thank you message released over the weekend to fans who watched &#8220;Top Gun: Maverick&#8221; in theaters over the summer.</p>
<p>The movie grossed more than $1.4 billion at the global box office and more than $690 million domestically after three months in theaters, making it one of the highest-grossing movies of all time, Variety <a href="https://variety.com/2022/digital/news/top-gun-maverick-breaks-digital-sales-record-1235358416/">reported</a> back in September.</p>
<p>&#8220;Hey everyone, here we are over sunny South Africa,&#8221; Cruise said in the new video while sitting on the edge of a helicopter. &#8220;And we&#8217;re filming ‘Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning’ parts one and two.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I didn&#8217;t want the year to end without thanking you all for coming out to the theaters, and thank you for supporting &#8216;Top Gun: Maverick,'&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>Cruise then introduced Christopher McQuarrie, the writer and director of &#8220;Dead Reckoning,&#8221; who told Cruise that he had to wrap it up because they were on a tight filming schedule.</p>
<p>&#8220;Listen we really gotta roll, we gotta get this shot,&#8221; McQuarrie said.</p>
<p>&#8220;Oh ya, we&#8217;re filming,&#8221; Cruise responded. &#8220;We gotta get this shot. Are you coming?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Not on your life,&#8221; McQuarrie answered. &#8220;Good luck.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ll see you down there,&#8221; Cruise said as he jumped out of the helicopter.</p>
<p>&#8220;Where was I?&#8221; Cruise says as he looks at the camera as he falls through the sky. &#8220;Oh, yeah. Thank you for supporting &#8216;Top Gun: Maverick&#8217;. As always, thank you for allowing us to entertain you. It truly is the honor of a lifetime. Yeah, very lucky.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m running out of altitude, so I better get back to work,&#8221; Cruise said as he broke away from the camera and headed straight toward the ocean. &#8220;We gotta get this shot. You have a very safe and happy holiday. We&#8217;ll see you at the movies.&#8221;</p>
