When Top Gun: Maverick finally arrived in theaters, box office insiders had no doubt it would be a hit—but few people predicted just howbig a dent the Tom Cruise-starring sequel would make worldwide.
On August 7, 2022, Variety magazine reported that the summer blockbuster had just racked up $662 million in U.S. box office receipts, making it the seventh biggest domestic in release in history, pushing just ahead of Titanic.
While James Cameron's iceberg epic still holds the No. 3 spot for highest-grossing movies of all time worldwide (with his Avatar in the top spot), Cruise's latest hit is inching its way up that list, too. These are the 25 highest-grossing movies of all time worldwide, according to Box Office Mojo.
