There’s no doubt about it, Top Gun: Maverick was a hit, both at the box office and with various movie rating systems. TG:M came close to maxing out in the RunPee app’s Peeple’s Poll and is one of the highest-rated movies of all time—going back to its introduction in 2018. Only Spider-Man: No Way Home and Avengers: Endgame have higher Final Ratings. And for TG:M the difference between Expectation and Final Rating is +9.2, among the highest in our database.

Breaking down Peeple’s Poll results for Top Gun: Maverick based on gender and age
When users submit their Expectation and Final Rating for a movie they are asked for their age and gender. This allows the app to present the overall ratings plus a view of the ratings based on a user’s specific demographics. For instance, if you’re a 35-year-old woman you are probably more interested in what other women about your age think about a movie vs what an 18-year-old boy thinks.

You can see that the Final Rating score for women aged 60+ is an absurdly high 95.9 and then gradually drops off as women get younger. While at the same time women in the 20-29 age bracket had the lowest expectation for the movie, yet still gave it a relatively high rating in the end, resulting in a +12.3 jump between Expectation and Final Rating.
The little white dot represents the average for that age bracket considering all movies. The 10-19 age bracket doesn’t have nearly as many users represented and you can see that this was the only age bracket where Top Gun: Maverick didn’t do better than average.
What people are saying
about the RunPee app.
Best app ever!
RunPee is the only app we use before movies and afterward. not only does RunPee tell you when it’s a good time to leave the theater, kids these days ask if there’s anything during/after the credits, and RunPee lets parents know when there might be some thing that a kid might miss!
RunPee has tidbits, ratings, leave the theater times, and lengths. This is THE VITAL APP for watching any movie!
We used it when my wife was pregnant, and we have recommended it to every pregnant gal we know! How else can you enjoy a movie when you have to go out so often?!

The Final Rating for men remained fairly consistent for all age brackets except for the 10-19 bracket where there was a large drop-off to 82.8. It’s still important to recognize that a score of 82.8 is very respectable, but it also represents the lowest Final Rating among all age groups and genders. I guess this movie isn’t really a good date-night move for teenage boys and girls. But it would be a great date-night movie for their parents. 🙂
Creator and developer of the RunPee app. When something doesn’t work right in the app it’s pretty much his fault. 🙂
Aspiring author. Would like to finish his “Zombie Revelations” trilogy if he could break away for working on RunPee and the cottage he’s building for RunPee Mom.
