Hollywood star Tom Cruise is set to get a fairy tale ending to his pro-America smash hit movie “Top Gun: Maverick.”
The anti-woke “Top Gun” sequel just passed the $900 million mark at the worldwide box office after another weekend of huge ticket sales.
“Top Gun: Maverick” is now only the third movie of the pandemic era to cross the $900 million mark.
So far, the movie has done $474.8 million domestically and $427.1 internationally for a total of $901.9 million, despite being banned in China.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness earned around $950 million globally.
Spider-Man: No Way Home made around $1.9 billion worldwide.
But the news gets better for Tom Cruise.
The movie is on track to pass the $1 billion mark and may do so over the Fourth of July weekend.
For a non-woke, pro-USA movie that refused to cave to China (and lost that massive market), hitting $1B in global sales is about as loud a message as you can send to Hollywood.

According to Variety, “Even without playing in China or Russia, the $1 billion mark looks to be within reach.
“That would be notable because only one other Hollywood movie, Sony’s ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home,’ has crushed that particular benchmark in COVID times.”
According to the Hollywood Reporter:
“Last week, Top Gun: Maverick passed 2018’s Mission: Impossible — Fallout, which earned $791 million globally, to become Cruise’s biggest earner of all time at the worldwide box office, not adjusted for inflation.
“Top Gun: Maverick is also Paramount’s biggest live-action movie in 15 markets, including the U.K., Australia, France and Brazil, as well as the studio’s highest-grossing original release at the domestic box office behind Titanic.
“Top Gun: Maverick has been buoyed by enviable word of mouth. Critics blessed the long-awaited sequel with a 96 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes, while moviegoers awarded the film with a coveted A+ CinemaScore.”
