Actor Adam Sandler was recently spotted walking with a cane on the streets. Around Labor Day, the actor reportedly went through hip surgery. The comedian-actor is currently doing a few projects and is set to start a stand-up tour in the coming October. According to sources, he’s steadily recovering after his surgery.
The Projects
The well-known actor made his comeback in the dramatic movie Hustle, released on Netflix earlier this summer. During the same time, Adam Sandler also started production of You Are SO Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah! This project reunites him with Idina Menzel, his co-star from Uncut Gems. The movie, alongside two others, is currently in the post-production stage. The actor reportedly decided to have his hip surgery between these projects.
The Surgery
According to sources, Adam Sandler’s hip surgery was not a case of a medical emergency. It was specifically scheduled for this summer and came after a busy year in his career. Now photos of him in the media show the actor walking around with a cane. According to reports, Adam Sandler had been using it for weeks but hadn’t explained the cause. Now it seems the cause has been his hip surgery all along. Photos of him being mobile and able to walk around are giving his fans a lot of expectations that the comedian will be perfectly up and about for his highly anticipated month-long stand-up tour in late October.
The Expectations
The Saturday Night Live alum is scheduled to take the stage on 20th October in Uncasville, Connecticut. After that, the actor will hit the road traveling all across the US through mid-November. And his surgery isn’t slowing the actor down at all! It looks like, along with his upcoming tour, Adam Sandler has already planned ahead with not one, but three movies in post-production!
Top Gun: Maverick Crosses Titanic at All-Time Domestic Box Office Collection
The American action drama, Top Gun- Maverick, has surpassed the all-time favorite romantic drama Titanic at the box office. Directed by Joseph Kosinski, this film is a sequel to the fan-favorite action movie Top Gun, which was released in 1986. After its great performance at the box office, the film has become the seventh highest-grossing movie of all time. Read on to know how this May 22 release is making waves with the audience.
The Box-Office Performance
The action movie Top Gun-Maverick has earned $662 million at the domestic box office and continues to weave its magic on the big screen. This Tom Cruise movie has managed to cross the record of the all-time famous movie Titanic, which won over millions of hearts in 1997. The film has made $1.3 billion worldwide to date, becoming the first Tom Cruise movie to achieve this milestone, right above his 2018 release Mission Impossible- Fallout. The film continues to break all records at the box office and top the charts, running successfully even months after its release.
The Star-Studded Cast
Tom Cruise and actor Val Kilmer have reprised their respective roles in the sequel, as lieutenants Maverick and Iceman respectively. This time Miles Teller, Glen Powell, Greg Tarzan Davis, Jay Ellis, Monica Barbaro, Lewis Pullman, Jennifer Connelly, and Jon Hamm have joined the cast too. The movie is produced under the same banner as Titanic, Paramount. The much-awaited sequel was first announced in 2010, but due to certain reasons, the project was delayed and released in 2022. If the sources are to be believed, after the great performance of the film at the box office, talks of a third movie are already making rounds. Teller, who trained pretty hard for his role in the movie, stated that even though another movie would be great, it’s really all up to Tom Cruise.
