Can they do it without Cruise?

The Hobbit series was supposed to be a 2-parter. Wish the studios didn't get greedy...but that's an aside. *sigh*


Two Hobbit films would have done $450m+ each + more OS and been better quality overall (I'm a fan of the first one but not the sequels)

It's hard to see how. I feel like it would be a total flop. You could take the gross a third Top Gun would likely make, then cut that up into ten pieces, burn nine of them, and the remaining bundle is what a Cruise-less Top Gun does.

BOR posted this two days ago: Top Gun: Maverick has ended its domestic run with a final total gross of $716,657,763.

Feel like it would have done great with perhaps a few more bump ups from Veterans Day, Oscar buzz, and the holidays. What an incredibly run regardless!

It's strange though since I still have TGM showings in my city. So maybe BO reporting is done on a daily basis. Hopefully still has more left in it. Though I can understand TGM would be a good Christmas gift for a lot of people so can understand them wrapping its run.

It's only $13.3M away from $1.5B. :sweat:

I do wish it held on for just another week, for Veterans Day weekend. It was right there. lol

Still, this was one of the most fun boxoffice runs I've ever experienced in real-time.

There may be a final gross reported in a couple of months.

its almost at 1.5B. If they go for a awards push and re-release it, there is a chance it gets there. But that is unlikely. Still 1.486 Billion is probably a billion greater than average prediction before release. :funny:

BP2 will be hard pressed to beat TGM as it would need a 3.98 multiplier. BP1 had close to a 3.5 but feels unlikely it would surpass that.

yes it is even more leggy than Pixar originals like Finding Nemo and Ratatouille


A major factor is the fact that it’s an older franchise that hasn’t been in theaters for decades. This leaves more “undecideds” who can be influenced by WOM among other things, so there is a wider potential range for the long run. Star Wars shows good evidence of this. I don’t think many people will argue that TPM had better WOM than ROTS, but ROTS was far more frontloaded, and it goes beyond just the frontloading trend. It also means the average age of the audience is different, which means different lifestyles and moviegoing habits. In hindsight, it was also the reason I underestimated the multiple for Blade Runner 2049.

Another thing, with the Pandemic, January 6, Afghanistan, Ukraine, and everything else, probably since 9/11/2001, people wanted a military movie that made them feel good, even if they are just trying to ignore reality. And it could appeal to both parties. Same reason they go crazy trying to convince themselves that the Ukraine war changes anything for the west in the long run.

TGM finally has a streaming release date.

Right in time for Christmas. Unbelievable run but I'm sure Paramount couldn't resist putting it on then.

Incredible boxoffice run. I love the visuals of this trajectory:

I just wish its run lasted until Veterans Day, for the symbolic nature of it all.

$1.5B may not be out of reach yet. :thumbsup:

TGM is coming back to theaters for 2 weeks including some IMAX. Given how light the marketplace is strategically makes sense to have it out between now and Avatar. One way to pad the lead a bit more domestically.

I saw Black Panther 2 in a 4DX theater, the kind with moving seats, as well as wind & water effects. I regret not having seen Top Gun 2 in that setting. The movie is tailor made for that experience.


On the boxoffice front, let's just say Paramount sorely needed this win. Joseph Kosinski can now do whatever he wants.

1,487,357,763 worldwide, $12.64M to go. Not looking good in this release. Out on Paramount+ Dec. 25th so maybe theaters will want it back if it picks up lots of awards later on.

Post Re: why has Top Gun: Maverick seemingly become the first sum
Think TGM's domestic tally was adjusted $300K+ from the last reported # since it's total domestic is now at $717,818,451 by the end of last weekend with another $70,315 on Monday bringing it to $717,818,451. So that was likely the gross for the rest of November since some theaters still played it.

Worldwide total then is $1,487,818,451 and $12.2M away from $1.5B.

As of Thursday $1,488,073,968. $11.9M to $1.5B.

With domestic at least TGM will get to $1.49B and within $10M. If it has an Oscar run could eek out a bit more but Paramount is going to have to really push it here.

A Oscar nomination re-release would push it there...
