Tom Cruise and Top Gun Maverick still higher at the US box office. Check out the numbers from the weekend.
TO REMEMBER
Top Gun Maverick always on top at the American box office! For its second weekend of exploitation in the United States, the film piloted by Tom Cruise continues its career at the highest! The film is now close to $300,000,000. As a reminder, this is the best start in the United States of Tom Cruise’s entire career.
Best Start to a Movie Starring Tom Cruise
The sequel to the adventures of Tom -Pete Mitchell- Cruise did almost twice as well as Steven Spielberg’s War of the Worlds (2005), which so far was the best start to a film taken by Tom Cruise in the United States with nearly $65 million in revenue for its first weekend.
That first weekend was Memorial Day weekend. Top Gun: Maverick surpassed Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End ($114.7 million in 2007) and X-Men: The Last Stand ($102.7 million in 2006).
In the rest of the world, Top Gun Maverick is a hit, especially in France, where the film has just crossed 2 million admissions. At the worldwide box office, it has accumulated $550 million to date. The film becomes the 6th highest score in the world for a Hollywood film since the start of the pandemic.
For comparison, the first opus directed by Tony Scott, released in May 1986, had totaled 8.2 million dollars for its 1st weekend of exploitation on 1,028 screens and had ended its career by garnering 180 million tickets greens in the US and 357 million at the international box office.
Doctor Strange 2 still in 2nd position in the US
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness also continues its good trajectory. The Marvel film remains on the 2nd step of the podium and garners an additional $9.2 million, i.e. a total of $388.7 million. The podium is unchanged this week since Bob’s Burgers: The Movie remains on the third step of the podium by registering an additional $4.5 million this week.
The Bad Guys and Downton Abbey 2 reverse their places, with a nice outfit, and therefore leaving little room for novelties this week. Everything Everywhere All at Once also confirms its great success. Only two novelties enter the Top 10, in this case the Indian film vikram ($1.37 million), 7th, and the new film by David Cronenberg, recently in competition at Cannes, The Crimes of the Future ($1.1 million), which moved into 10th place.
