Box Office: Top Gun 2, Doctor Strange 2 Hit New Milestones

Top Gun: Maverick has grossed nearly $549 million (about Rs. 4,263 crore) at the worldwide box office since its debut in theatres on May 27 to emerge as a memorable release for its leading man Tom Cruise. Meanwhile, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness has entered the $900 million club (about Rs. 6,989 crore) as the superhero movie continued to find takers nearly a month after its release. The second Doctor Strange movie has collected $909.4 million (about Rs 7,060 crore), beating the Tom Holland-led Spider-Man: Far From Home to secure the 10th position in the list of best performing Marvel Cinematic Universe movies.

Coming back to Top Gun: Maverick, of the total $549 million, $292 million (Rs. 2,268 crore) comes from the US and Canada market. The remaining $257 million (Rs 1,995 crore) comes from 64 territories elsewhere. This doesn’t include Russia and China where the film is not going to be released. Nor does it include South Korea, a Cruise stronghold, where the Top Gun sequel will release on June 23.

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and Top Gun: Maverick are, however, not the only movies to garner attention this week as the sci-fi action movie Jurassic World Dominion — the third instalment of the Jurassic World franchise — collected nearly $55.5 million (about Rs. 4,310 crore) from 15 markets outside the US and Canada, as it began its staggered rollout with Brazil (June 2), Italy (June 2), and Mexico (June 3).
