TopGunMaverick has finally been knocked out of the domestic box office Top 10. The film stayed in the Top 10 (and more frequently the Top 5) for 19 weeks despite competition from over 30 newer movies 🤯
Top Gun: Maverick has been knocked out of the domestic box office Top 10 for the first time in the 20 weeks since its release. The film is a many-years-later sequel to the 1986 hit Top Gun, which starred Tom Cruise as the hotshot pilot Pete "Maverick" Mitchell. The film sees the character, now in his 50s, returning to the Top Gun program to teach a new crop of young pilots how to pull off an extremely dangerous mission.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Top Gun: Maverick's incredible opening weekend gross of $126.7 million turned out to be just the beginning for the film, which exceeded all expectations and then some. As of the time of writing, the sequel has grossed $1.48 billion worldwide and become the fifth highest grossing domestic film of all time. Maverick has kept a stranglehold on the box office over the past 19 weeks, staying in the U.S.
Why Was Top Gun: Maverick Such a Success? Unusually for a film that is a worldwide success, nearly half of its entire gross came from the domestic box office. Typically, international markets form a much larger proportion of an action film's overall profits, but the unique sociopolitical approach of Top Gun: Maverick seems to have allowed it to have broad appeal across all territories.
That calculated move to goose international profits seems to have combined well with the fact that people seem to genuinely love Top Gun: Maverick. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a 96% critic rating with a 99% audience score. Audiences are likely being thrilled by the in-camera flight effects, a holdover from Cruise's dedication to real-life stunts that he honed on the Mission: Impossible franchise.
