‘Top Gun: Maverick’ continues to work wonders at the US box office. Tom Cruise’s film added another $ 7 million to the North American box office this weekend. His total in North America eleven weeks later is already $ 662.5 million.
The film directed by Joseph Kosinski has already surpassed the total of ‘Titanic’: 659.36 million dollars (without adjustment for ticket price inflation). In July it was already rumored that the sequel to ‘Top Gun’ had taken a record from the James Cameron film, but it was the title of Paramount Pictures’ best opening because the one that passed was the initial collection of the film in 1997, about 600 Millions of dollars. It has now passed the box office of ‘Titanic’ when it first came out in US theaters and in re-releases in subsequent years. “Top Gun: Maverick” is already the seventh highest-grossing film of all time in North America, once again not counting inflation.
His next target would be the $ 678 million raised by “Avengers: Infinity War”., something more than feasible because the film continues to hold up wonderfully. This weekend it was only down 16% from the previous weekend. Then he would have to join the $ 700 million club to beat ‘Black Panther’, the fifth highest-grossing film in history in the United States. Worldwide, “Top Gun: Maverick” grossed $ 1.33 billion. There the ocean liner continues to have a great advantage because its global collection is $ 2.2 billion.
Tarantino is a big fan
When Maverick returns, fans don’t stop coming out. Quentin Tarantino took advantage of his appearance on the Reel Blend podcast to tell wonders about the film: “I loved “Top Gun: Maverick”. I thought it was great. I saw her in the cinema. This and Spielberg’s “West Side Story” offer a true cinematic spectacle, the kind you almost thought you would never see again. It was fantastic”. The only note he made of the film was the reunion scene between Maverick and Ice (Val Kilmer) why “it was almost too cheap”but also surrenders to that moment: “But it works perfectly. It’s kind of like when Charlie Chaplin dies on stage in the last scene of ‘Footlight’ … but it works, shit. You wait for it and that fucking scene satisfies you.”.
‘Top Gun: Maverick’ continues in Spanish cinemas and while it’s not getting as spectacular figures as it is in the US, it remains in the top ten at the box office, according to data from Comscore.
