'Top Gun: Maverick', the legacy sequel to Tom Cruise’s 1986 classic 'Top Gun' has taken off with a strong start, earning a $250 million-plus opening weekend worldwide.
It has set the record for the highest opening for a film during Memorial Day weekend in the US. When compared to Tom Cruise’s previous release 'Mission Impossible: Fallout', the film has seen a nearly 28 per cent increase in collections becoming Tom’s highest opening grosser until date.
