It&#8217;s expected to clear $151 million through Monday as it continues to blaze its way through theaters for the Memorial Day holiday weekend, though that will put it just short of breaking the 2017 record set by <em>Pirates of the Caribbean: At World&#8217;s End <\/em>with $153 million. Factoring in worldwide ticket sales, <em>Top Gun: Maverick<\/em> is at $248 million total.<br \/>\n <!-- No winning ad found for zone: word count #1! --><!-- No winning ad found for zone: Below First Paragraph! --><!-- No winning ad found for zone: mid intro! --><br \/>\nThe sequel also sets a new career-best for star Tom Cruise. It is the highest-grossing domestic movie debut of the veteran actor&#8217;s decades-long career, also marking the first film of his to surpass the $100 million mark in its opening weekend. His previous record was $64 million for<em> War of the Worlds<\/em> in 2005. The film falls just behind <em>Spider-Man: No Way Home <\/em>($260 million), <em>Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness<\/em> ($187 million), and <em>The Batman<\/em> ($134 million) as one of the highest earners of the pandemic era.<br \/>\n<!-- Zone: character count repeatable. --><\/p>\n<div id=\"adsninja-ad-zone-MW-Reg-Org\" class=\"adsninja-ad-zone\">\n<div id=\"dynamically-injected-refresh-ad-zone-MW-Reg-Org\" class=\"dynamically-injected-refresh-ad-zone\">\n<div class=\"ad-current\">\n<div id=\"ad-zone-container-MW-Reg-Org\" class=\"ad-zone-container ad-zone-container-content-character-count-repeatable-1\" data-no-fill-collapsable=\"false\"><strong class=\"ad-zone-advertising-tag\">MOVIEWEB VIDEO OF THE DAY<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>As for <em>Doctor Strange 2<\/em>, the superhero sequel has been dethroned by <em>Top Gun: Maverick<\/em>, falling down into the No. 2 spot with $16.4 million pulled in for that film. <em>The Bob&#8217;s Burgers Movie<\/em> made its debut at No. 3 with $12.6 million, while the rest of the films that make up the top five are<em> Downton Abbey: A New Era<\/em> at $5.9 million and <em>The Bad Guys<\/em> at $4.6 million.<br \/>\n <!-- No winning ad found for zone: word count #2! --><br \/>\n<span class=\"related-single\">Related: Top Gun: Maverick Receives Rare A+ CinemaScore, Becomes Tom Cruise&#8217;s Best Reviewed Film<\/span><br \/>\n <!-- No winning ad found for zone: native in content! --><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"top-gun-maverick-is-a-hit-at-the-box-office\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Top_Gun_Maverick_Is_a_Hit_at_the_Box_Office\"><\/span> Top Gun: Maverick Is a Hit at the Box Office<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"body-img landscape\">\n<div class=\"responsive-img expandable img-article-item\" style=\"padding-bottom:52.5%\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Top-Gun-Maverick-TC.jpg\" data-modal-id=\"single-image-modal\" data-modal-container-id=\"single-image-modal-container\" data-img-caption=\"&quot;Paramount Pictures&quot;\">\n<figure>\n <picture>\n <!--[if IE 9]>\n <video style=\"display: none;\"><![endif]--><source media=\"(min-width: 1024px)\" sizes=\"750px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Top-Gun-Maverick-TC.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=750&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" sizes=\"943px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Top-Gun-Maverick-TC.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=943&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 481px)\" sizes=\"767px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Top-Gun-Maverick-TC.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=767&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" sizes=\"480px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Top-Gun-Maverick-TC.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=480&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><!--[if IE 9]><\/video><![endif]--><br \/>\n<img width=\"1200\" height=\"630\" class=\"lazyload\" alt=\"Top Gun Maverick TC\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Top-Gun-Maverick-TC.jpg\"\/>\n <\/picture><figcaption class=\"body-img-caption\">Paramount Pictures<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>It&#8217;s always a challenge for any sequel to match the quality of a popular original film, but <em>Top Gun: Maverick<\/em> has exceeded expectations with critics just as much as it&#8217;s surpassed its box office goals.

It also has a 96% fresh rating with critics at Rotten Tomatoes while its audience score is even higher with a near-perfect 99% score.
