‘Top Gun: Maverick’ Becomes Ninth-Biggest IMAX Hit of All Time with $110 Million

With $110.3 million globally, Paramount’s Top Gun: Maverick is now the ninth-highest grossing film in the IMAX format of all time. Maverick was recently re-released in domestic theaters, perhaps in a bid to push it past the $1.5 billion mark at the worldwide box office as it enters the awards season with major heat. The film was designed as a big screen experience, as evidenced by its stunning IMAX photography, which drew audiences back to the theaters for multiple repeat viewings.

Starring Tom Cruise as Pete “Maverick” Mitchell, a role that he first played in the beloved original Top Gun, the film has made over $718 million domestically, with an additional $770 million from overseas territories. It is currently the fifth-biggest movie of all time at the domestic box office, behind Avatar , Spider-Man: No Way Home , Avengers: Endgame and Star Wars: The Force Awakens . Globally, the film ranks 11, behind Furious 7 .

Maverick dominated the domestic box office for several weeks after its record-breaking $160 million Memorial Day weekend debut earlier this year, and topped what has been a massively successful 2022 for the recently-struggling Paramount. The studio has had a remarkable comeback after a couple of worrying years, with six theatrical hits this year. Besides Maverick, Paramount released Smile, Scream, Jackass Forever, The Lost City, and Sonic the Hedgehog 2 this year.

Directed by Joseph Kosinski, the film also stars Miles Teller, Jennifer Connelly, Jon Hamm, Ed Harris, Glen Powell, Lewis Pullman, Danny Ramirez, Monica Barbaro, Manny Jacinto, and Val Kilmer. You can watch our interview with Kosinski here, and read the film’s official synopsis down below. Test pilot Captain Pete "Maverick" Mitchell has purposely dodged an advancement in rank after thirty years of service. One day Maverick is called to be put in charge of training a group of Top Gun graduates for a specialized mission under the orders of his fellow naval aviator friend and former rival, Tom "Iceman" Kazansky , who is the commander of the U.S. Pacific Fleet.
