American actor and producer, Tom Cruise’s new movie, ‘Top Gun: Maverick,’ has begun the biggest opening of his career, as reports state that the movie has earned one hundred and fifty-one million dollars in four days in the United States and two hundred and forty-eight million dollars worldwide.
The movie is the sequel to the 1986 Tom Cruise film titled ‘Top Gun,’ which follows Maverick’s return to the United States Navy Strike Fighter Tactics Instructor program also known as ‘Top Gun,’ where he must confront his past as he trains a group of younger fighter pilots, among them the son of his deceased best friend Goose.
“These results are ridiculously, over-the-top fantastic,” said Chris Aronson, Paramount’s president of domestic distribution.
“I’m happy for everyone. I’m happy for the company, for Tom, for the filmmakers.”
Before Maverick, his biggest domestic debut was in 2005, with Steven Spielberg’s War of the Worlds, which opened to $64 million.
The hit action franchise Mission: Impossible — Fallout scored $61 million in 2018.
