A 40% drop (on par with The Passion of the Christ in weekend three against Johnny Depp’s The Secret Window) gives Top Gun: Maverick a $54 million weekend and a $397 million 17-day cume. If that happens, it’ll have already passed Rain Man ($172 million in 1988/$392 million adjusted for inflation) as Tom Cruise’s second-biggest “tickets-sold” domestic earner behind only Top Gun ($176 million in 1986 and $4 million in 2013/$440 million). Its current $343 million 14-day total means it'll top The Batman ($369 million) tomorrow for the silver medal for 2022. Depending on how it plays overseas against the Jurassic World movie, it could (emphasis on “could”) end the weekend closer to $750 million than $725 million. Like (offhand) Dune, Free Guy, Godzilla Vs. Kong and Uncharted, Top Gun: Maverick is performing much better than it would have in non-Covid circumstances in 2020 or 2021.
