"Top Gun 2" may become the highest-grossing movie for Tom Cruise

This weekend, the North American market will welcome Tom Cruise's blockbuster "Top Gun 2: Maverick". Foreign media predict that the film will gross around 92 million US dollars in the first four days of North America (the Memorial Day holiday) and 180 million US dollars in the global first weekend, both of which may create the highest opening record for Tom Cruise's works.

Currently, Top Gun 2 has a Rotten Tomatoes rating of 97% (206 reviews), and the audience popcorn index is as high as 99%. The distributor Paramount is confident that the film will open in 4,727 theaters in North America, which is more than Spider-Man: No Home (4,336 theaters) and Doctor Strange 2 (4,534 theaters).

Although Tom Cruise is famous enough, not many of his films have high box office. The best North American opening for his previous film was 2005's "War of the Worlds," which grossed $64.8 million.

The best global opening for an individual work was "The Mummy" with $172.3 million, but the film had very bad reputation and was recognized as a failure.

In addition to North America, "Top Gun 2" will be released in 62 markets around the world (including Hong Kong and Taiwan) starting from May 25, and the overseas box office is expected to be around 80 million US dollars.
