this is JoWilli's prediction. I will be in seat C9 if you want to sit next to me. I will have Skittles and other snacks.
IT’S OFFICIAL!! “TOP GUN MAVERICK” passed $1 BILLION WORLDWIDE — the FIRST TOM CRUISE MOVIE to do so! BIG CONGRATS
@TomCruise
!! DOMESTICALLY, #TopGunMaverick & #Elvis are TIED FOR 1ST PLACE this weekend with an estimated $30.5 MILLION EACH! WHICH MOVIE will be NUMBER ONE??
new update: 8-4-2022
WORLDWIDE
$1,325,829,431
It will gross nowhere near 1 billion. More like $500m max and even that's generous.
shareI dont care what anyone says, Tom Cruise is a Legend.

this didnt age very well as well....lol
shareLol! Imagine being you.
shareThis reply just keeps getting funnier.
share1 billion? I somewhat expect this to flop. The nostalgia factor might save it somewhat if it's lucky. But I think it won't attract much of the marvel/starwars/pixar crowd. Those films gross a billion.
shareThe hype is real, its going to be a huge summer blockbuster.
shareNo flop here, it should easily cross one billion, if not more.
shareYes, I'm surprised. Certainly no flop.
shareImpressive.
1. You said you expect this to flop and gave a reason. You didn't confidently proclaim it, with no supporting arguments or nonsense, like so many people do.
2. You didn't insult anyone who disagreed with you or attempt to assert superiority.
3. You admit that your expectation was incorrect and your surprise at such.
If only all online discourse could be this way.
Ha! If only :) Thanks for the kind words.
shareUnder development forever, there probably should have been sequels in the 90s. Expectations may be too high for most. No doubt, people that had their first date at Top Gun will have a reunion date for Maverick, all these decades later. I’d say it gets $450m.
share96%

its gonna be Yuuuge!
It has to gross $900m to match the original. People want entertainment, there's been so little last 2 years.
The trailer is good, as long as reviews are too it will gross over $700m. NTtD and F9 did.
It looks like F9's highest grossing country was China. No wonder Cena groveled.
I thought I heard Top Gun was banned in China (below thread), but it's not easy to get a clear answer from Google. I don't think the film will gross a billion, especially if China is out, but it's not beyond the realm of possibility. Younger audiences prop up box office, and a movie described as a Gen X wet dream (a dad beating Millennials and Zers) may not grab the spandex summer crowd.

I thought the same thing about the new Halloween movies, but the majority of people in the audience were under 25. This might appeal to young audiences as well.
shareHorror appeals to everyone. It is said the genre is the star.
shareNo, it doesn't. Horror is in the lower half at best in popularity and box office. Action, adventure, thriller, and comedy are all bigger genre stars than horror. I don't know if Top Gun will reach 1bil without China, but this will shatter any horror film, b/c a big action pic with Tom Cruise is a much bigger draw, and weekend projections already suggest it will be a hit. And young audiences don't have to be Top Gun fans to show up for a tent pole like this. Just like they don't have to be fans of the 1st Jurassic Park to show up to the latest installment. They are intentionally made to work as standalones, and action translates to the foreign market with ease b/c it's never hard to follow.
shareArgentinian being wrong. What a surprise.
shareIt's already made $1.4 billion.
That's before digital and blu ray sales.
First the Falklands, now this.
You should quit while you're behind.
Suck my dick, bitch
shareSays the one who shamefully deleted his comment. Don´t think there is more of a "b*tch" move than that.
shareIt was removed by a mod.
I see now that you're the little bitch butthurt about a comment I made elsewhere. Ignored for being a stalking creep 🖕
It wasn't removed by a mod. You deleted it about a minute after I replied to it.
You're embarrassed, and humiliated, because you said nobody young will watch Top Gun.
Admit it. Man up, don't be a little bitch.
Yeah "deleted by a mod" literally months after it was made. lol
Guy is already a proven liar, I think you are expecting too much from him.
