The box office over Memorial Day Weekend was all about TOM CRUISE and “Top Gun: Maverick”.
The movie broke the record for biggest Memorial Day opening of ALL TIME domestically, with $126.7 million from Friday through Sunday . . . and $156 million if you add in Monday’s total.
The previous record holder was “Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End”, with $153 million.
This was also the biggest opening for a Tom Cruise movie, and the first time he’s cleared $100 million or more. Tom’s previous best was “War of the Worlds” . . . which had a three-day opening take of $64.9 million in 2005.
