Paramount's 'Top Gun: Maverick' Hits Another Record In Second Week, $86M Box Office

“Top Gun: Maverick” broke another record in its second week -- dipping just 32% in its U.S. box-office results (to $86 million) from its debut week.

“The domestic hold of 32% is the lowest percent change for any movie that has opened to $100 million or more,” says Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for Comscore. “After just 10 days in release, the cume as it stands now is in Paramount’s top ten of all time.”

The movie has now grossed $291.6 million in the U.S. and $257 million internationally -- giving it a strong $548.6 million globally.

The new “Top Gun” movie’s first week result of $156 million was the best Memorial Day weekend debut ever. The Memorial Day weekend is the typical starting point for the big summer movie season.

From May 8 through June 5, for the most recent two-week period, "Jurassic World” has spent an estimated $11 million and $7.6 million in national TV ad spending, according to iSpot.tv -- tops among all active theatrical movie marketing.
