Top Gun: Maverick continues to be a cinematic success story, almost breaking yet another record at the box office.
Top Gun: Maverick is a sequel to the original Top Gun movie from 1986. It stars Tom Cruise as Pete “Maverick” Mitchell, alongside Miles Teller, Jennifer Connelly, Jon Hamm and Glen Powell.
The movie earned a lot of positive reception from viewers and critics alike. It quickly became one of the most successful films in recent years. And now, it’s on the way to surpass the domestic box office total of Jurassic World.
Top Gun Success
The Top Gun sequel is expected to surpass $650 million domestically, which is right behind Jurassic World’s $652 million. It’s likely that Top Gun: Maverick ‘s box office performance will be able to outdo the dinosaur flick’s total, making it seventh biggest film domestically.
As for other milestones, it’s also just behind Avatar and Titanic in terms of tenth-weekend performances. It’s expected to pull in $8.83 million, which is only short of those two films. That’s a pretty huge success for the film, which has continued to draw an audience so long after its initial release on May 27th, 2022.
The film became the second movie since Avengers: Endgame to earn over £1 billion at the global box office. It’s Paramount Pictures’ highest grossing movie of all time. It’s also Tom Cruise’s most successful film ever.
A synopsis for the film reads “After more than 30 years of service as one of the Navy’s top aviators, Pete “Maverick” Mitchell is where he belongs, pushing the envelope as a courageous test pilot and dodging the advancement in rank that would ground him. Training a detachment of graduates for a special assignment, Maverick must confront the ghosts of his past and his deepest fears, culminating in a mission that demands the ultimate sacrifice from those who choose to fly it.”
