It seems that the 36-year wait — which is said soon — since the original feature film directed by Tony Scott was released, far from cooling the public’s fervor and the desire to get their hands on ‘Top Gun: Maverick’, have ended up heating up even more the atmosphere; and as an example, we only have to take a look at some box office data that place it as the best opening of Tom Cruise’s career.
High-flying box office
Between Friday and Sunday, the glorious blockbuster directed by Joseph Kosinski has grossed a whopping $124 million; a sum that, if we add the estimate for this Monday the 30th, in which Memorial Day is celebrated, would reach some spectacular 151 million only in domestic territory.
In this way, ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ far exceeds its two immediate pursuers; a ‘Doctor Strange in the multiverse of madness’ that falls 49% in its fourth week, staying at 16.4 million; and an amazing ‘Bob’s Burgers; The film’ which has debuted with 12.6 million throughout the weekend.
For his part, the box office international has been equally generous with the Paramount title, which has garnered 109 million dollars distributed among a good handful of territories among which France stands out, with 11.7 million; United Kingdom, with 19.4 million; or Australia, with 10.7 million dollars. Tremendously solid numbers that could be further enriched if the film’s premiere in China is closed, still pending confirmation.
In Spain
The total collection of ‘Top Gun: Maverick’, which is currently 260.5 million dollars, has also been boosted by the grain of sand of the Spanish box office, in which has occupied the first position with 2.1 million dollars of collection based on current Box Office Mojo data. After her, with figures yet to be specified, ‘Doctor Strange 2’ and ‘Jujutsu Kaisen 0’ close the Top 3 with the most watched during the last three days.
