Joseph Kosinski’s Top Gun: Maverick<\/em> is showing no signs of slowing down.<\/p>\n

The Paramount and Skydance tentpole, starring Tom Cruise, is doing massive business in its second weekend. If estimates hold, the sequel will earn $ 85 million or more in its sophomore outing to boast the smallest decline ever – 33 percent – for a movie opening to $ 100 million more.<\/p>\n

In North America, the summer tentpole earned $ 25 million to finish the day with a jet-fueled domestic cume of $ 230 million.<\/p>\n

The sequel is poised to finish Sunday with a North American total of $ 290 million and as much as $ 540 globally. Top Gun 2<\/em> continues to fly high overseas, where it crossed the $ 200 million mark on Friday and is holding strong.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, Top Gun: Maverick<\/em> became Cruise’s top-grossing film domestically when passing up 2005’s The War of the Worlds<\/em> ($ 243.3 million), not adjusted for inflation. That’s after zooming past the first Top Gun<\/em> ($ 180.3 million) and Cruise’s Mission: Impossible<\/em> films, including the last installment, Mission: Impossible – Fallout<\/em> ($ 220.2 million).<\/p>\n

Internationally, Top Gun: Maverick<\/em> is also well ahead of the $ 176 million earned by the first Top Gun<\/em>not adjusted for inflation.<\/p>\n

The movie’s performance is a huge win for the summer box office and shows that people are eager to return to theaters after two years of sparse Hollywood product due to the pandemic.<\/p>\n

In North America, Top Gun: Maverick<\/em> has the playing field largely to itself until next weekend when Jurassic World: Dominion<\/em> lands across the US<\/p>\n

Overseas, Jurassic World 3<\/em> began opening midweek week in 15 markets for a cume of $ 25.9 million through Friday. It’s doing strong business in Mexico, Brazil and Italy in particular.<\/p>\n

Opening at the US specialty box office this weekend is Cannes Film Festival entry Crimes of the Future<\/em>, from David Cronenberg. Neon is launching the film in more than 750 cinemas, a wide footprint for a specialty title. Estimates show the movie opening in the $ 1 million range.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
