The Tom Cruise-led action adventure flick has enjoyed a highly successful theatrical run. With over $1.49 billion in box office earnings, it was the second highest-grossing film last year, just right after Avatar: The Way of Water, and set the record for the highest-grossing film of Tom Cruise's career. Now, a year after its debut, the Top Gun sequel is off making history again.
According to Deadline, the action-drama film is still showing in cinemas across Japan and has grossed $101.5 million over its impressive run.
With this figure, Top Gun: Maverick set the record for the highest-grossing film in the country for both Paramount Pictures and Tom Cruise. This is the latest in a line of records that include the biggest debut for a Cruise movie.
Top Gun: Maverick's box office performance it as a force to be reckoned with at home and abroad as it grossed over $700 million each in both domestic and international markets.
Internationally, the film made the most money in the United Kingdom with $103.5 million. Japan comes a close second with $101.5 million. Other top international markets are Korea, Australia, and France with $67.5 million, $65.4 million, and $59.8 million respectively.
