Richard Gelfond responds to Tom Cruise’s record-breaking weekend at the box office on ‘The Claman Countdown.’<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

IMAX CEO Richard Gelfond said that he was “shocked” at the record performance of “Top Gun: Maverick, “<\/u> after it shattered box office numbers in its Memorial Day weekend debut with a domestic gross of $ 160.5 million in four days and nearly $ 300 million globally.<\/p>\n

Gelfond reacted to the record-breaking weekend on “The Claman Countdown” Tuesday, praising Tom Cruise’s “unparalleled” passion and work ethic that resulted in the long-awaited sequel to the 1986 film.<\/p>\n

“I knew it would sail past $ 200 [million], but I’m just shocked that it’s up around $ 300, “Gelfond said.” This movie has a life of its own I think because it’s a different demographic than a lot of movies that fly at these levels. I think people didn’t know how to analyze it. I don’t think anybody predicted $ 300. “<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

TOM CRUISE’S ‘TOP GUN MAVERICK’ NOT FAR OFF FROM REAL DEAL<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Top Gun: Maverick” marks a career-best opening for Cruise who, up until this point, had not had an opening exceed $ 100 million. Ticket buyers gave the Jerry Bruckheimer film an A + on CinemaScore, with more than 70% of the audience over the age of 25 and 55% of viewers over the age of 35.<\/p>\n

Gelfond said he was surprised to learn that a younger demographic in large part contributed to the box office success. <\/p>\n

“I think one of the more shocking things is how many of the young people came, how many of the 18 to 30-year-olds came,” he said. “And I think the analysts missed one big thing\u2026 this was a 37-year gap, so a lot of the people weren’t born when the last one came out\u2026 .so people forgot it wasn’t just a regular sequel. It was a sequel that spanned beyond the lifetime of a lot of these people. And that it was a great movie which I don’t think anyone really understood how deep that went. “<\/p>\n

“I want to give Tom Cruise a lot of the credit,” Gelfond said. “He’s been an IMAX fan for 20 years\u2026. Tom wanted to develop a camera that would really give you the feeling of being inside that cockpit. And he was the driving force and our engineers\u2026 and everyone worked at creating this special technology.”<\/p>\n

He added, “There will never be another Tom Cruise because the guy’s passion, his work ethic and his drive for perfection are just unparalleled.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
