Why? Aren't all the new releases out on Tuesdays, usually?

New releases come out on Monday in the UK. Didn't realise this was standard for the US.

Man what a crushing disappointment it'll be if it doesn't hit 2 billion, Morbius will surely outgross it on the next re-release.

Posts deleted already, guess we gotta have that "nuanced discussion" instead.

'Top Gun: Maverick' has become the #6 highest grossing film of all time at the domestic box office, passing ‘Avengers: Infinity War’.

Quote it before they delete it.

Regardless of VOD availability, please keep going to the theater to watch this multiple times if you can! It is too late for Cineworld, but we can make an effort to keep the other chains from filing for bankruptcy!

Let's get it to #1!!!

Yes, no doubt that we need to see this multiple times instead of Thor 4. This blew Thor completely out of the water and deservedly so.

Dragonball, Beast, Bullet Train, Superpets, Maverick. With Maverick still making money, putting this on streaming on Tuesday is something I wouldn't do...but...waddya going to do.

I agree completely. Maverick is the only billion-dollar movie this year. If studios weren't so quick to rush everything to streaming, we could have had at least two more. Doctor Strange and Jurassic World would have probably made it, and Minions would have had a shot. I guess they're expecting big sales for Labor Day.

Studios only get to keep a portion of the box-office take, one can see how some of them would want to keep more by getting to streaming a little bit sooner... It's just business!
