Tom Cruise’s latest film ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ recorded $86 million in a massive second-weekend collection. These figures are among the top ten highest-grossing second weeks in domestic cinema history. The film has earned $291 million in North America and $548.6 million worldwide in only ten days on the big screen.
Remarkably, “Top Gun: Maverick” already has overtaken 2005’s “War of the Worlds” ($243 million) as Cruise’s highest-earning domestic film. Paramount`s president of domestic distribution Chris Aronson wrote a note to the press. The note read, “It has never been more appropriate to say the sky’s the limit for Top Gun: Maverick.”
Ticket sales for Top Gun Maverick dipped only 32%
The movie has had free dominion over the North American box office rankings. This was due to the lack of new releases from big studios. Ticket sales dipped only 32% from its $160 million premieres during the lengthy Memorial Day holiday weekend, thanks to great word of mouth, enthusiastic reviews, and premium screens. It’s the least second-weekend drop for a film that debuted with a gross of $100 million or more.
“Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” came in second with $9.3 million from 2,430 screens. After five weeks in cinemas, the Marvel film has grossed $388.7 million in the United States and $909.4 million worldwide. Without the release in China or Russia, two of the world’s most important regions. In third place was “The Bob’s Burgers Movie” with $22.2 million. Followed by “The Bad Guys” and “Downton Abbey” sequel with $87 million and $34 million, respectively.
