Top Gun: Maverick is unstoppable, jets past 0 million mark in US #IndiaNEWS #Cinema
Los Angeles, June 15 | The jet engines of Tom Cruises charm and the nostalgia quotient seem to working at full blast as Hollywoods recent release Top Gun: Maverick has attained the Mach 10, soaring past 0 million at the US domestic box office, making it the highest-grossing movie of the year in the US.
With 1.8 million in North American ticket sales, Tom Cruises patriotic blockbuster has surpassed Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (8 million) to claim the No. 1 spot.
According to Variety, its only the second movie in pandemic times to cross 0 million stateside, Spider-Man: No Way Home being the first.
While the film may have clear skies in June, heavy turbulence is expected for the Tom Cruise-starrer in July as Maverick will have to fight off heavyweights like Thor: Love and Thunder (July 8), Minions: The Rise of Gru (July 1) to keep the domestic crown through 2022.
Variety further states that internationally, the sequel to 1986s Top Gun has earned 2 million, taking its global total to a massive 3.8 million. Even by pre-COVID standards, Maverick is smashing box office expectations.

Top Gun: Maverick already stands as Cruises highest-grossing film in North America, but its close to becoming the actors biggest movie at the global box office. Mission: Impossible Fallout, which collected 1 million worldwide in 2018, currently stands as his highest-grossing blockbuster of all time.
Top Gun: Maverick opened over Memorial Day weekend and set a holiday record, collecting 0.5 million in its first four days of release. It was the first movie in Cruises 40-year career to surpass 0 million in a single weekend.
