Top Gun 2 Box Office Projections Are Career-Best For Tom Cruise

Top Gun 2 Box Office Projections Are Career-Best For Tom Cruise

Amazingly, a Cruise-led movie has never surpassed the $100 million mark domestically during its opening weekend. If these projections bear out, Maverick would be Cruise’s first film to do so. If it opens closer to the vicinity of $125 million, which some are estimating it might, the Top Gun sequel could end up doubling Cruise’s current career-high, War of the Worlds, which debuted at $64.8 million domestic in 2005. In terms of worldwide openings, Cruise’s 2017 misfire The Mummy currently ranks as his best debut at $172.3 million.

While Cruise is undoubtedly one of the great movie stars of his time, his films haven’t opened particularly well in comparison to the lofty standards set by modern franchises such as the MCU and Star Wars. That narrative could be set to change for Cruise with Maverick. Due to incredibly strong critical reactions and a high-profile promotional campaign led by Cruise, Top Gun: Maverick seems poised to overperform this weekend. This would not only mark career-highs for Cruise, but signal a defining moment for the post-pandemic box office, which has largely been dominated by superhero fare.
