TopGunMaverick isn't just scoring with critics as the film has soared to a $156 million gross, setting the record for the biggest Memorial Day opening weekend. PiratesoftheCaribbean 3 previously held the record.
As the film scores up rave reviews, Top Gun: Maverick has also set a number of box office records in its opening weekend, namely beating Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End. Tom Cruise returns to lead the cast of the long-gestating action sequel alongside fellow co-star Val Kilmer reprising his role as Iceman.
Top Gun: Maverick picks up 36 years after the original film as Cruise's titular test pilot is nearing the end of his career as the Navy works to ground him and work toward instituting drones. Maverick finds himself given another chance to get in the pilot's seat as he's ordered back to Top Gun to train a group of young fighter pilots, including the son of his late best friend Goose, for a dangerous new mission unlike any other.
Prior to the closing numbers, Top Gun: Maverick had already set a major box office record by becoming Tom Cruise's biggest opening weekend yet and the first to clear the $100 million mark. Additionally, Top Gun: Maverick earned the first A+ rating on CinemaScore of 2022 and sits as one of Cruise's best-reviewed films, falling just shy of Mission: Impossible — Fallout's 97 percent rating from critics on Rotten Tomatoes with its 96 percent approval rating.
Top Gun: Maverick's massive box office debut not only speaks to its success as a rare legacy sequel that delivers, but also to Cruise's efforts to keep the film as a theatrical release.
