Tom Cruise’s ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ surpasses ‘Avengers: Infinity War’s’ box office record
Tom Cruise’s ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ surpassed Marvel’s ‘Avengers: Infinity War’s’ box office record and become the sixth-highest grossing movie in domestic box office history.
Even three months after its release, Tom Cruise’s most recent action movie Top Gun: Maverick is still breaking box office records. Variety reports that the sequel to the 1986 blockbuster has brought in $679 million in North America, breaking the previous record of $678 million set by Marvel’s 2018 action film Avengers: Infinity Wars.
Top Gun: Maverick is now in sixth place at the domestic box office in the US due to its outstanding box office performance. According to the publication, making the top 10 list is an “especially impressive benchmark” considering that even the superhero-abundant Avengers: Infinity War had ten years’ worth of buildup and expectation.
Critics question whether Maverick also had the star power of Cruise, who is an all-around box office hero. Maverick keeps beating the odds, whether it’s thanks to Cruise charming his way through the crowd or the excellent word-of-mouth and repeat clients.
It appears likely that Top Gun 2 will continue to sell tickets given the lack of immediate competition. Variety added that until Black Panther: Wakanda Forever opens in theatres in November, the box office would be comparatively quiet.
