Forget breaking the sound barrier: Tom Cruise just flew past a major career milestone.
The 59-year-old superstar just got his first $100 million opening weekend with “Top Gun: Maverick.”
In first three days in North American theaters, the long-in-the-works sequel sold an estimated $124 million in ticket sales, Paramount Pictures said Sunday. Worldwide, the film has earned $248 million.
It’s a supersonic start for a film that still has the wide-open skies of Memorial Day itself to rake in even more cash. According to projections and estimates, “Top Gun: Maverick” will likely top $150 million by end of Monday.
