This Memorial Day weekend, Tom Cruise will have the biggest movie debut of his four-decade career. All but two of his films opened to less than $60 million. His Top Gun sequel will cruise beyond $100 million.
Top Gun: Maverick will screen at more than 4700 locations. Many Hollywood insiders believe that a $125 million debut is within reach.
Maverick co-stars Miles Teller, Jennifer Connelly, Jon Hamm, Glen Powell and Ed Harris. Val Kilmer makes a brief appearance as Iceman from the original 1986 Top Gun.
The Bob’s Burgers Movie arrives as counter-programming. The PG-13 movie based on the animated TV show ought to exceed $10 million. (Box Office Mojo)
