TOP GUN: MAVERICK Joins Billion-Dollar Box Office Club in a First for Tom Cruise
Top Gun: Maverick has joined the billion-dollar club at the global box office. It’s the first Tom Cruise film to achieve the milestone, and the 50th Hollywood movie overall, not adjusted for inflation.
Director Joseph Kosinski’s film passed the barrier after finishing Sunday with an estimated domestic total of $521.7 million and $484.7 million overseas for a global cume just north of $1 billion.
Top Gun: Maverick enjoyed a boost in its fifth weekend thanks to being rereleased in select Imax and premium large-format screens. The Paramount and Skydance release grossed $30.5 million domestically and $44.5 million overseas for a weekend total.
The sequel is only the second Hollywood title of the pandemic era to cross $1 billion behind Sony and Disney’s Spider-Man: No Way Home ($1.89 billion).
According to Paramount, more than 16 percent of Top Gun 2′s audience has seen the film more than once in theaters, while 4 percent have seen it four times or more.
Cruise’s previous biggest film worldwide was Mission: Impossible — Fallout, which grossed $791 million in 2018, not adjusted for inflation.
Top Gun: Maverick is also Paramount’s biggest live-action movie in 15 markets, including the U.K., Australia, France and Brazil, as well as the studio’s highest-grossing original release at the domestic box office behind Titanic.
The first Top Gun, released in 1986, earned $357.8 million at the worldwide box office, unadjusted.

He made $12.5 million up front and will get an additional 10% of the top dollar box office gross. So he's making well over $100,000,000 when it's all said and done. (Though after the parasites and leeches are done with him he'll probably only see ~$65 million of it)Wonder how much Cruise walks away with. Must have a crazy backend deal. Has to be 9 figures.

He was a producer tooWonder how much Cruise walks away with. Must have a crazy backend deal. Has to be 9 figures.
Really I do think Kosinski was one of the blockbuster directors who'd showed the most talent without having a monster hit before this.
Tron Legacy I felt suffered from a lack of interest in the franchise and a post Avatar 3D backlash but really it was a great looking film with good action and characterisation, Oblivion maybe went a bit too straight forward Emmerich(Maybe studio pressure?) in places but it did look very good and again had decent drama.
Tron even had a dogfight in it not that disimilar to what we see here...
ironically as well Tron, a film based on the idea of CGI environment actually had mostly real sets showing his preference for that.
Tron Legacy was almost great. It is in the running for the best score of the last 20 years. But I think Tron rather than Oblivion is the one that falls into Emmerich style characterization. A quick look at the bad son of David Warner, a quick bit of establishing Flynn Jr. as a badass - he rides a motorcycle just like Shia in Wall Street 2 - and we're off.
It gets interesting once it's in the grid with Clu and Flynn Sr. But again...lost opportunities to develop Flynn and Clu, and especially to show the conflict within Rinzler. He just turns on a dime back into Tron, and there isn't much setup for how Flynn resolves things with Clu / uses his Matrix powers at the end.
The movie just needed more time to breathe. And the movie never really gave me a lot of reason to like Hedlund.
