Paramount\/Skydance\u2019s \u201cTop Gun: Maverick\u201d cannot be stopped at the box office, as it continues to ride its critical and audience acclaim to an $86 million haul in its second weekend and a 10-day total of $291 million domestic and $548 million worldwide. <\/p>\n

That result is the best second weekend hold for any film that has opened to over $100 million, dropping just 32% from the Tom Cruise sequel\u2019s $126.7 million 3-day opening. By comparison, the Marvel films \u201cSpider-Man: No Way Home\u201d and \u201cDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness\u201d both fell 67% in their second weekend while Warner Bros.\/DC\u2019s \u201cThe Batman\u201d fell 50% in its second weekend back in March.<\/p>\n

In addition, \u201cTop Gun 2\u201d is now already Cruise\u2019s highest grossing domestic release before inflation adjustment and Paramount\u2019s highest grossing film since \u201cTransformers: Dark of the Moon\u201d ($352 million) in 2011, ranking in the studio\u2019s top 10 all-time.<\/a> \u201cTop Gun: Maverick\u201d got here off an audience base that has skewed considerably older than for most blockbusters, with the opening weekend crowd being 55% over the age of 35 while this weekend\u2019s crowd was roughly even between moviegoers over and under age 35.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\u2018Top<\/p><\/div>\n

In a distant second on the box office charts is Marvel Studios\u2019 \u201cDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,\u201d which crossed $900 million worldwide in its fifth weekend with $9.3 million grossed domestically. With $909 million grossed globally, the film now stands among the top 10 highest grossing Marvel Studios releases. <\/p>\n

20th Century Studios\u2019 \u201cThe Bob\u2019s Burgers Movie\u201d is in third, dropping 63% from $12.4 million opening for a second weekend total of $4.5 million and a 10-day total of $22.3 million. Universal\/DreamWorks Animation\u2019s \u201cThe Bad Guys\u201d is fourth with $3.3 million and an $87.2 million total after seven weekends in theaters. <\/p>\n

Focus Features: \u201cDownton Abbey: A New Era\u201d completes the top 5 with $3 million grossed in its third weekend, giving it a total of $35.7 million. With a budget of $40 million and just under $80 million grossed globally, the film is looking like it will just make it past the break-even point theatrically as it may arrive on digital rental this coming week as per Universal\u2019s windowing agreement with major theater chains. <\/p>\n

With no major wide releases this weekend, the only newcomers to the top 10 weekend box office charts were from limited release. In seventh is the Indian action film \u201cVikram,\u201d which made $1.8 million from 460 theaters for a per theater average of $3,913. <\/p>\n

In tenth is Neon\u2019s \u201cCrimes of the Future,\u201d which stars Viggo Mortensen and Kristen Stewart and marks \u201cThe Fly\u201d director David Cronenberg\u2019s return to the body horror genre. After premiering in competition at Cannes to positive reviews, the film grossed $1.1 million from 773 theaters for an average of $1,423.<\/p>\n

Finally, Universal\u2019s \u201cJurassic World: Dominion\u201d opened in 15 countries ahead of its U.S. release this Friday and grossed $55.4 million. This included an $18.1 million opening in Mexico, which is a studio record for Universal. The film also posted the best openings for any \u201cJurassic\u201d film in seven other Latin American markets and a $15.1 million opening in South Korea. The film is expected to have a strong chance of passing $1 billion worldwide like its \u201cJurassic World\u201d predecessors, with a release in China booked and domestic projections for opening weekend set at $150 million-plus.<\/p>\n
