Tom Cruise earned the biggest movie launch of his career with "Top Gun: Maverick," bringing in a projected $151 million at the box office during Memorial Day weekend. The Paramount film, which was delayed multiple times due to the coronavirus pandemic, now holds the record for the second-best Memorial Day opening of all time behind Johnny Depp’s "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End," which earned $153 million when it was released in 2007. Global totals were also expected to exceed $275 million despite not playing in either China or Russia, according to The Hollywood Reporter. "Top Gun" was off to a staggering $51.8 million start on Friday with more than $19 million in previews from 4,700 theaters in North America. Ticket buyers gave the Jerry Bruckheimer film an A+ on CinemaScore, with more than 70% of the audience over the age of 25 and 55% of viewers over the age of 35. Despite being one of Hollywood’s heaviest hitters, Cruise had never had a bigger opening since 2005’s "War of the Worlds" with Dakota Fanning. The science fiction film directed by Steven Spielberg grossed $64.9 million during the three-day weekend. Comscore also noted "Mission: Impossible – Fallout" earned $61.2 million in 2018, but Cruise’s films have all opened to less than $60 million. Cruise said "Top Gun" would "never" make its theatrical debut on a streaming network despite years of setbacks due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Cruise and the "Top Gun" team touched down at the Cannes Film Festival last week for the European premiere, a spectacle that included eight fighter jets flying high above the Palais with red and blue smoke streaming behind to match the colors of the French flag.
