Top Gun: Maverick gives Tom Cruise the biggest opening weekend of his career

What's Trending with MJ

It might be hard to believe, but in all of Tom Cruise's career, he's never had a $100 million opening weekend. Until now.

This weekend, "Top Gun: Maverick" decimated the box office when the long-awaited sequel brought in $124 million in ticket sales throughout North America and $248 million worldwide.

It will only get better as U.S audiences celebrate Memorial Day Monday, which will drive that figure much higher by day's end.

The large figure is a first for Cruise, whose previous highest opening movie was 2005's "War of the Worlds," earning $64 million on opening weekend.

Top Gun: Maverick is the fourth biggest opening of a film in the covid era, behind Spiderman: No Way Home", "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness" and "The Batman."
