The world premiere of Joseph Kosinski’s ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ starring 59-year-old Tom Cruise took place at the end of May, and just a month later the film broke all possible records at the box office. In the US, the action movie has already earned $521.7 million and $484 $7 million overseas, for a total of an impressive $1 billion.

This is the first Tom Cruise film to reach such a high mark at the box office, and only the 50th Hollywood film to do so in history. Among the films of recent years, “Top Gun: Maverick” is second only to the film “Spider-Man: No Way Home”, which grossed $ 1.89 billion at the box office. However, Cruise’s previous film, Mission: Impossible: Fallout, made $791 million in 2018, which isn’t nearly as impressive as a nine-figure figure.
