Even upon its release on 27 May, Maverick saw a marvellous opening, which was record-breaking for the actor. It eventually climbed up the ladder of success, and within a month, the movie has managed to cross the $1 billion mark. It is an enormous feat for Cruise as only one film has been able to do that since 2019 and that is Spider-Man: No Way Home.
Currently, Top Gun Maverick has made $1.006 billion globally and is still growing. It has managed to surpass all the competition that has come in its way, including Chris Pratt’s Jurassic World Dominion, Lightyear, and now Elvis. The Tom Cruise starrer has also become the biggest movie of 2022 with that.
Tom Cruise has now responded to the new feat achieved by Top Gun Maverick. The actor took to his Twitter and wrote, “To all the films in release, to all the studios, and to all the exhibitors: congratulations. To the audience: thank you for venturing out and allowing us to entertain you.” He added, “See you at the movies.”

Several people have said that Top Gun 2 has played a huge part in resurrecting cinemas after the Covid-19 pandemic. A lot of this has to be owed to Tom as well. The actor refused to release the movie on OTT during the pandemic and waited for things to get better.
Tom Cruise found the right time, and Top Gun Maverick was released at such a when cinemas across the globe opened. Not only that, but Cruise was a lending hand on the set, and his role was bigger than just being the actor. He helped in training the cast with their stunts amongst many other things.
