The movie marked Cruise's first $100 million opening of his career. The film earned an estimated $124 million in ticket sales, Paramount Pictures previously said.

"Top Gun: Maverick" had an extremely long journey to get to the theaters. The sequel to the late Tony Scott’s "Top Gun," which was released in 1986, was originally slated to open in the summer of 2020. Its marketing campaign technically started in July 2019.
The pandemic got in the way of those plans, however, and it was delayed several times. Directed by Joseph Kosinski, produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and co-produced and co-financed by Skydance, the sequel reportedly cost $152 million to make.

While many films went straight to streaming due to the coronavirus pandemic, Cruise made sure that didn't happen.
"That was not going to happen ever," he said at Cannes in excerpts published by The Hollywood Reporter. "That was never going to happen."
