Saturday AM Update: Refresh for more analysis and chart <\/em><\/strong>Paramount \/ Skydance’s Top Gun: Maverick<\/em> <\/strong>held throughout the week, and it’s holding at a brilliant steady in weekend 2. I’m hearing that it’s -33% ease is one of the best for a wide release that’s opened to north of $ 100M, ahead of the -40% posted by Star Wars: The Force Awakens <\/em>in December 2015. Top Gun 2 <\/em>is looking at $ 84.5M<\/strong> (again, rivals have it higher, but why get over your skis in this pandemic marketplace) which will put it at $ 290M<\/strong> EOD Sunday; easily the best Tom Cruise has ever seen at the domestic box office. The Joseph Kosinski directed movie cashed in a second Friday at $ 25M, $ 5M ahead of where we saw it yesterday afternoon.<\/p>\nThe sequel is playing broadly: In weekend 2 PostTrak, Top Gun 2 <\/em>is seeing 38% over 45, the 25-34 crowd delivering the best attendance yesterday at 23% and 35-44 at 20%. Still marvelous exits at five stars and a 74% definite recommend. Men over 25 were big yesterday at 41% (97% grade), then women over 25 at 39% (96% grade), with men and women under 25 at 10% (respectively 93% and 82% grades).<\/p>\nMore from Deadline<\/strong><\/p>\nTop Gun 2 <\/em>is leading all titles during the 22nd weekend of the year to an overall estimated haul of $ 117.8M, which is off 32% from the same pre-pandemic weekend in 2019. How do we continue to be off in a marketplace where there’s a big movie leading the charge? Same old answers: It boils down to the lack of product, and how studios are continuing to be cautious. During the May 31-June 2, post-Memorial Day weekend there were three new studio titles appealing to a variety of demos: Godzilla King of the Monsters <\/em>(which was No. 1 with $ 47.8M, Rocketman <\/em>with $ 25.7M, and horror movie But <\/em>with $ 18M. Then there was weekend 2 of Aladdin <\/em>in the No. 2 spot with $ 42.8M).<\/p>\nStory continues<\/button><\/p>\n\n\n
