The hit Tom Cruise movie “Top Gun: Maverick” has continued its impressive box office run over the weekend, hauling in another $44 million from 4,035 venues in North America.
The anti-woke movie has been in theaters for over a month and looks set to pass the $900 million mark in the next few days.
Only one other movie did better than “Top Gun: Maverick” in its fourth box office weekend, James Cameron’s blockbuster Avatar.
Avatar is the highest-grossing film in history so Cruise’s pro-America movie is in rare company.
The sequel to 1986’s “Top Gun” has grossed $466 million in the U.S. and Canada and $885 million globally.
It is the biggest blockbuster in Tom Cruise’s decades-long career.
Forbes is predicting it will cross the $1 billion mark over the July 4th weekend. I saw Top Gun: Maverick again tonight. If you haven’t seen it, I highly recommend you catch it in the theater. Incredible. — Robert J. O’Neill (@mchooyah) June 20, 2022 According to Variety:
“In third place, “Top Gun: Maverick” keeps flying high with a mammoth $44 million from 4,035 venues in North America, marking a scant 15% drop from last weekend.“Those box office returns are especially significant because the film has been playing in theaters for a month. Only one other film that debuted in wide release has generated more in its fourth box office weekend — “Avatar,” with $50 million.” Slay the latest News for free! From Forbes: Meanwhile, with another $39 million (-25%) overseas, the Paramount/Skydance flick has topped $885 million worldwide and should pass $900 million tomorrow or Tuesday. Since Titanic was distributed overseas by 20th Century Fox (where it earned $600 million domestic and $1.8 billion in 1997/1998), Top Gun: Maverick is technically Paramount’s biggest “all mine” global grosser ever.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
