Top Gun: Maverick may have lost to Jurassic World Dominion at the box office this week, but has hit another milestone nationwide.

Top Gun: Maverick is in the middle of its third week in theaters and continues to be a commercial powerhouse. Of course, with the arrival of domination of the Jurassic world, is no longer at the top of the box office charts, although that is to be expected every time a new blockbuster hits the scene. In any case, Dissident continues to shine on that front in a different way, as the Tom Cruise-directed sequel is now the highest-grossing national release of 2022 so far.

As I write this, Top Gun: Maverick earned approximately $ 401.8 million nationwide, surpassing $ 398 million Doctor Strange in the multiverse of madness Taken in theaters across the United States. For Variety, Dissident it is only the second film to exceed $ 400 million at home; Spider-Man: No homecoming was the first to do so with his $ 804.7 million tally. Of course, there are plenty of other high-profile films coming out this year that could be successful Dissident outside the national number 1 spot, but for now, the reunion with Pete “Maverick” Mitchell is conveniently located there.

This is another impressive box office hit below Top Gun: Maverickproverbial belt. The sequel had already shone both by offering the biggest opening weekend for a Tom Cruise film, and by becoming the biggest domestic hit of the actor’s career, an honor previously held by the film. war of words.

Pass to Top Gun: MaverickAccording to international data, the film earned $ 362 million, bringing its world total to $ 763.8 million. As such, it ranks as the third highest-grossing film in the world, behind only Doctor Strange in the multiverse of madness$ 931 million e the Batman$ 770.3 million. Looking at these numbers, it won’t be long before Dissident push forward the Batmanalthough it seems unlikely that the sequel will reach Doctor Strange’s second solo MCU adventure.

As if box office fame wasn’t enough, Top Gun: Maverick it also stood out as a critical hit. It has a 97% Tomatometer score on Rotten Tomatoes and an audience score of 99%.
