Top Gun: Maverick has passed the $800 million mark at the global box office, making it the highest-grossing film of Tom Cruise’s career.

Deadline reports the action flick has usurped Cruise’s previous top earner, 2018’s Mission Impossible: Fallout, which earned $791.1 million worldwide. Maverick’s box office total now stands at $806.4 million, with $422.2 million coming from domestic audiences.

The sequel to 1986’s Top Gun now has a chance to become the first Cruise-starring film to join the billion-dollar club at the box office. However, sources tell the Hollywood Reporter that Maverick will likely tap out around $900 million, with the absence of a China and Russia release being the only reason it might not reach the $1 billion mark.

If they were not going to release the movie in China and Russia, they should have made the bad guys just one of those countries instead of tip toeing around the subject of who the actual villains are. Probably my only criticism of this awesome movie. Can't wait to go see it again.

Don’t mean to “ackshully,” but since every one is experiencing the tangible effects of inflation right now, it’s worth noting, adjusting for inflation, Top Gun: Maverick still needs to make another $100 million or so to match the original Top Gun (1986) in adjusted ticket sales (>$900 million).

Edit: Relax your collective cracks with the downvotes; it wasn’t meant as an insult to TG:M. Just that, adjusted for inflation, Top Gun (1986) is still the Tom Cruise movie that has sold the most tickets, (1986 gross, $354 million; adjusted to 2022, $942 million).

Went and saw it again today. The theater was more packed in its tgrid weekend than when I saw it on opening weekend.

And to think, Paramount was fighting with Tom Cruise about putting the film on streaming after just 30 days instead of its usual 90 days. They're all morons now in the film indiustry except Cruise.

The way box office records are reported in the press is just bizarre. Book and (when they were still sold like this) album sales are reported in units sold. The equivalent for movies would be actual tickets bought, not the price for the ticket.

It’s the reason why that big kerfuffle about Avatar vs. Avengers: Endgame (that resulted in James Cameron re-releasing Avatar for no other reason than to regain the top spot) was so tedious.

Both of them would have to make another $1 billion to catch up to Gone With The Wind.

reminds me of that awful Red Dawn remake. They changed everything to North Korea so they could release it in China and China still banned it

Just make them the bad guys. Movies seem to do fine financially without them. Stop letting them censor us.
