Top Gun: Maverick Surpasses Titanic At US Box Office, Now 7th All-Time

Top Gun: Maverick continues to soar at the box office, surpassing another box office juggernaut, Titanic. After another weekend in theaters, the Tom Cruise action movie has now made $662.5 million in the US, which pushes past 1997's Titanic, the James Cameron film that earned $659.4 million. These figures are not adjusted for inflation.

Maverick now ranks as the seventh highest-grossing movie of all time in the US. 2015's Star Wars: The Force Awakens remains No. 1 by far with $936.6 million, followed by Avengers: Endgame ($858.4 million), Spider-Man: No Way Home ($804.8 million), Avatar ($760.5 million), and Black Panther ($700.4 million).

Maverick was directed by Joseph Kosinski, who also directed Chris Hemsworth in the Netflix movie Spiderhead.

Maverick debuted in May 2022, some 36 years after the original film. Maverick, now a test pilot, returns to the Top Gun school he came from, to train a new generation of pilots, including the son of his deceased friend, Goose. For more, check out GameSpot's Top Gun: Maverick review.
