And in North America it sits at $606 million, for a grand total of $1,208.5 billion globally.

It is only the 12th film to ever cross the $600 million mark at the domestic box office.
Internationally, Top Gun: Maverick holds the number three spot for the production company’s highest titles ever.
Meanwhile, in 28 overseas markets — including France, Australia, and the UK — the flick is the biggest Paramount live action movie ever.
Notably, this is the first film in Tom Cruise’s decades-long career to earn $1 billion.
Also notable is that Maverick outshined Titanic as Paramount’s number one domestic grossing film of all time.

The entertainment publication reported the week’s top offshore markets through Thursday as the UK with $88.8M, Japan with $65.4M, Australia with $55.9M, France $46M and Korea, $41.4M.
The film was originally supposed to be released in June 2020, but Paramount held off on the release until more fans were able to return following the pandemic lockdowns.
His Top Gun franchise took the global film market by storm, both in 1986 and 2022, but it’s not all for the big screen – as Tom has actually been a real life licensed pilot since 1994.

And while the jets were flown by someone else in the original flick, it was the actor in the driving seat for the recent sequel, Top Gun: Maverick.
The cast of the film underwent months of flying training in preparation for the role, as they took to the sky themselves for the scenes.
While Tom wasn’t allowed to fly an actual F-18 jet, he was the pilot of other planes during the film – and even had to figure out his own camera shots while in the plane, with no space for a director inside.
