![]() ![]() Perhaps Top Gun: Maverick will be a non- Mission: Impossible hit for Cruise.Ĭhris Agar is a senior movie/TV news editor for Screen Rant and one of Screen Rant's Rotten Tomatoes approved critics. It's facing minimal competition over Memorial Day weekend, and there's still time before Jurassic World Dominion releases. Especially now that Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness has been out for a few weeks, that word-of-mouth may propel Top Gun: Maverick at the box office. Also working in the movie's favor is the fact the Top Gun: Maverick early reviews are very positive, praising the film has something that demands to be seen on the biggest of screens. The legacy sequel has the nostalgia factor and brand recognition that could carry it to success. The original Top Gun is one of Cruise's best-known films and was the highest-grossing title of 1986. Earlier in his career, Cruise was one of the box office's biggest stars, but nowadays he isn't always as sure of a lock. Even the well-received Edge of Tomorrow struggled at the box office before catching on with viewers later on home media. Cruise's Jack Reacher film franchise fizzled out after only two installments. The Mummy was an infamous bomb, killing the Dark Universe franchise before it really kicked off. Outside of Mission: Impossible (which continues to be a reliable draw), much of Cruise's output has been hit or miss commercially lately. It will be interesting to track its box office performance. Going by that formula, Top Gun: Maverick would have to earn roughly $304 million globally to recoup its costs. The general rule of thumb is a movie needs to gross twice its production budget in order to break even.
