Many thought that Tom Cruise's acting career had peaked over the years. But the actor proved the opposite, and with 'Top Gun Maverick' he accomplished what no one expected: to bring people to the cinema in a movie that does not include heroes.

"Top Gun: Maverick" grossed $ 134 million at a record 4,732 North American theaters. The film Paramount and Skydance is expected to raise about $ 151 million by Monday, exceeding expectations.

"Top Gun: Maverick" is the highest grossing debut in Cruise's 40-year career and his first to surpass $ 100 million in the opening weekend. "War of the Worlds," which opened with $ 64 million in 2005, was previously Tom Cruise's biggest box office weekend.

The vast majority of the public was over 40 years old, while there were also many of those under this age who had not even been born when 'Top Gun' first came out, 36 years earlier.

"Top Gun: Maverick" continues the series of big receipts for the company Paramount, marking its fifth film that this year comes out first on the list of films with the largest open receipts.

"Top Gun: Maverick" has cost about $ 170 million, which does not include the tens of millions spent on promoting the film to audiences around the world.
