What makes “Top Gun Maverick” number one on this ranking?
Since May 27, 2022, the start of the Memorial Day weekend when Top Gun Maverick was released, it has never left the Top 10 at the US box office.
Indeed, with 6,485,173 entries, Top Gun Maverick takes the 5th place of the greatest success in history in the United States, and makes Tom Cruise a more iconic character than he already is. Indeed, since its cinema release, this film has been talked about by attracting the greatest number of spectators and has become a worldwide success. Moreover, it continues to panic the counters of the entries to the cinema.
Top Gun Maverick has amassed over $700 million on US soil alone. It thus surpasses many films that also caused a stir, such as Black Panther and Avengers InfinityWar. Even in France, this film also shows 6,485,173 admissions on the clock. If the film Rain Man released in France in 1989 was able to hold the record for Tom Cruise with 6,475,615 admissions, it is therefore well and truly overtaken by Top Gun Maverick. The same goes for other great films such as "The Last Samurai", "Minority Report", "War of the Worlds", and even the famous "Mission Impossible".
Thanks to the success of this movie, people are also expecting a lot from the upcoming Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning Part 1 which is scheduled for summer next year. Similarly, Paramount decides to organize a promising marathon, chaining the two films in a row, the first Top Gun of 1986 and the Top Gun Maverick. Most cinemas in France will offer these double screenings, starting with the Grand Rex in Paris from September 28, 2022.
