Box-Office Showdown (5/27-5/29) How high will Top Gun: Maverick soar? - Blu-ray Forum

BluBonnet · 05-24-2022, 07:37 AM

OK, the sequel you've been waiting 36 years for is finally here - how high do you think it will soar?

Top Gun: Maverick almost has the entire weekend to itself, opening only against Disney's Bob's Burgers (apparently, the last title they will release under the Fox banner until Avatar 2 in December)

For bonus points, also guess how much Bob's Burgers will make!

Hopefully it will make a fortune, this will be my first trip back to movie theatres since The Invisible Man in January 2020.

Yeah, because the boxofficepro.com forecasts have never been inaccurate

CreasyBear · 05-24-2022, 10:08 AM

$74 million.

John1701D · 05-24-2022, 11:18 AM

80 million.

Bob's $18 million

You guys are way underestimating this. This movie is almost totally sold out at all shows in my area, even the early shows. I’m gonna guess 160 million.

Steedeel · 05-24-2022, 01:54 PM

120 million.

ticTACsnitch · 05-24-2022, 01:55 PM

Is that domestic or worldwide?

Domestic, I bet this movie gets to like 800 million worldwide by the end of its run.

LOL! No chance, whatsoever. It won't even open to half that, domestically.

ImBlu_DaBaDee · 05-24-2022, 02:30 PM

You don’t think this can make 400 million domestic and 800 million worldwide? I think it really has a shot, I’m serious. I’ve been wrong on box office before though, so I’ll wait and see.

Star Lord · 05-24-2022, 02:37 PM

It looks domestic heavy than worldwide.

The seating charts at Harkins Cerritos and AMC Orange are surprisingly sparse for Thursday and most of Friday, with the exception of the 6-7 PM premium theater showings.

It might just be this area though. Tom Cruise is his own franchise and is the king of the walkup ticket buyers.

$83 million. Perhaps I have a dark heart.

I amended my comment when I realized how it would come across. I meant it won't make half your domestic opening weekend prediction. But no, it's not making 400m, domestically. 800m worldwide might be doable, but I'm skeptical about that as well.

I just don't think Top Gun is anywhere near as popular an IP as the M:I franchise, and his highest grossing movie ever is Fallout at 787m.

Just realized that it's a holiday weekend, so it might push 100m opening at most but I doubt it.

That was my last movie before COVID as well (had tickets to A Quiet Place 2 before it go delayed).

This is getting me back into the theaters as well. And as far as I can tell with sold seats at all showing times, a lot of other people too.

StarWarsIsAwesome123 · 05-24-2022, 02:51 PM

$115 million, though I wouldn't be suprised if it goes higher. Nostalgia, rave reviews, the holiday weekend, and the last big movie being 3 weeks old, will make for a winning combo.

Joey9775 · 05-24-2022, 03:48 PM

102...and Cruise gets his first 100 million opening.
