Despite initially receiving a mixed-to-positive response from critics, Tony Scott’s aerial action-drama Top Gun eventually gained a cult status among cinephiles. It holds a modest 55% critics’ score but an excellent 83% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes. At the box office, the Tom Cruise starrer went on to gross $357.3 million worldwide and became the highest-grossing film of 1986, both domestically and globally.
Its sequel, Top Gun: Maverick, which was released in 2022, turned out to be a much bigger critical and commercial success. It holds a stellar 96% critics’ score and a 99% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Moreover, the Joseph Kosinski-directed film earned a staggering $1.504 billion worldwide and became the highest-grossing film of Tom Cruise’s career, outperforming his earlier top-grosser, Mission: Impossible – Fallout’s $824.2 million global haul by a wide margin.
A few days ago, it was revealed that both Top Gun and its sequel, Top Gun: Maverick, will be re-released in theaters on May 13, 2026, for a period of one week. With that in mind, let’s take a look at how much more Top Gun: Maverick needs to earn during its re-release to surpass the worldwide earnings of another blockbuster action film, Furious 7.
