Tom Cruise is back and better than ever in Top Gun: Maverick. The long-awaited sequel to the classic Top Gun, Top Gun: Maverick has already broken records with its $100 million opening weekend. This makes it the biggest opening weekend for a movie starring Tom Cruise, and the sixth biggest opening weekend of all time. The only movies that have done better are Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Avengers: Infinity War, Black Panther, Jurassic World: the Fallen Kingdom, and Incredibles 2.
It helps that Top Gun: Maverick is rated PG-13 instead of PG. With more sex and violence, the movie will attract a wider audience who wouldn’t have watched a PG movie when they were 13-years old back. In addition to Tom Cruise’s star power helping Top Gun: Maverick succeed with the opening weekend record for him and sixth best of all time, the movie being in 3D helped add to its tally.
