It’s summer and the sheer amount of cash being generated on a non-holiday weekday is clearly showing that.<\/p>\n

In the wake of scoring the best Memorial Day opening of all time at the domestic box office with $ 160.5M, Paramount \/ Skydance’s Top Gun: Maverick <\/em>didn’t let up yesterday grossing $ 15.8M. While that’s the third best Tuesday in May stateside after Disney \/ Marvel’s Avengers: Infinity War <\/em>($ 23.4M; May 1, 2018) and The Avengers <\/em>($ 17.6M, May 8, 2012), it’s easily the best Tuesday in May for a non-Marvel movie; the comic book franchise continually dominating the month. Top Gun 2<\/em>‘s Tuesday is also ahead of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, <\/em>that pic making $ 12.6M on May 10. In regards to the previous biggest Tuesday in May for a non-Marvel movie, that belonged to Disney’s Aladdin <\/em>with $ 12M on May 28, 2019.<\/p>\n

Top Gun 2<\/em>‘s Tuesday was 53% off its Memorial Day Monday of $ 33.8M.<\/p>\n

The running total for the Joseph Kosinski directed, Tom Cruise movie stands at $ 176.3M through yesterday. Today, on the sequel’s sixth day of release, it will beat the original 1986 movie’s lifetime domestic total of $ 180.258M. Top Gun: Maverick <\/em>just needs to clear $ 3.94M today in order to fly past its first installment.<\/p>\n

As we mentioned yesterday, Top Gun 2 <\/em>outstripped Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End <\/em>for the 4-day Memorial Day opening record, the latter having made $ 153M (with previews). However, on a 3-day basis, At World’s End <\/em>is ahead of Top Gun 2 <\/em>after rolling in the former’s $ 13.2M Thursday previews; $ 127.9M to $ 126.7M. The pure 3-day sans preview cash for At World’s End <\/em>is $ 114.7M.<\/p>\n

EntTelligence reports that the final 4-day admissions figure for Top Gun 2 <\/em>is 12 million patrons. Because of higher ticket prices compared to 2007 when At World’s End <\/em>was released, the latter film pulled in more people (yes, including previews) with 19.5M over its 4-day weekend.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
