Nothing short of astonishment swept across Hollywood over the June 3-5 weekend when Tom Cruise’s Top Gun: Maverick<\/em> dropped a mere 29 percent from its Memorial Day launch thanks to spectacular word of mouth.<\/p>\n

That’s the lowest decline in history for a movie opening to $ 100 million or more, and a slim decline for any movie, according to Comscore. A decline of 50 percent would have been considered excellent, or even 55 percent. The bigger a Hollywood tentpole opens, the more inclined it is to drop 60 percent or more.<\/p>\n

Take Marvel and Disney’s Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness<\/em>which in its fifth weekend on Sunday became the first film of 2022 to cross the $ 900 million mark at the worldwide box office despite falling 67 percent in its sophomore outing.<\/p>\n

So what does this all mean? For the first time in his four-decade career, Tom Cruise, 59, has a movie that has a real shot at joining the billion-dollar club at the global box office. At the very least, it will ultimately become his highest-grossing film di lui, not adjusted for inflation. And the $ 170 million film is already a profit-maker for the studio.<\/p>\n

In its first 10 days, Paramount and Skydance’s Top Gun: Maverick <\/em>– fueled by moviegoers of all ages and a coveted A + CinemaScore – has earned an estimated $ 295.6 million in North America and $ 261.6 million for a global total of $ 557.2 million.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo have this kind of success at this point in his career is amazing,\u201d says a rival studio executive.<\/p>\n

Box office sources tell The Hollywood Reporter<\/em> that Top Gun 2<\/em> is destined to gross north of $ 900 million globally, including $ 500 million or more in North America. They say the only reason it may not get to $ 1 billion is the absence of a China and Russia release.<\/p>\n

Cruise’s biggest film worldwide is Mission: Impossible – Fallout<\/em>which collected $ 571.5 million overseas for a worldwide total of $ 791 million in 2018. Top Gun 2<\/em> will also pass up 2011’s Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol<\/em> ($ 694.7 million), 2015’s Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation<\/em> ($ 682.7 million) and 2005’s The War of the Worlds<\/em> ($ 603 million).<\/p>\n

On Saturday, Top Gun: Maverick<\/em> became Cruise’s top-grossing film domestically when it passed up War of the Worlds<\/em> ($ 243.3 million). That’s after zooming past the first Top Gun<\/em> ($ 180.3 million) and Mission: Impossible – Fallout<\/em> ($ 220.2 million). Internationally, Top Gun: Maverick<\/em> is already well ahead of the $ 176 million earned by the first Top Gun<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Top Gun: Maverick<\/em> could prove a huge boost for the next Mission: Impossible<\/em> movie, Dead Reckoning, Part One<\/em>. Paramount and Skydance open the film on July 14, 2023. “Top Gun 2 <\/em>has introduced a whole new generation to Tom Cruise, \u201dsays the source. It’s a wise observation.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
