It’s been revealed that Top Gun 2 (Top Gun: Maverick) has beaten Doctor Strange 2 (Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness) to become 2022’s highest-grossing movie so far!
Top Gun: Maverick has been dominating the US box office!
The movie has now passed $400 million at the US box office (via Collider) and it doesn’t look like it’s going to slow down any time soon.
With $400 million in the bank, the movie has now leapfrogged Doctor Strange 2 to become 2022’s highest-grossing movie in the United States!
That’s a pretty impressive feat given how many people went to see the second Doctor Strange movie and also the power of Marvel Studios.
Worldwide, Doctor Strange 2 is still ahead of Top Gun: Maverick.
However, it does seem as though American audiences have really taken to the new Tom Cruise movie.
It also shows that Tom Cruise still has box office appeal!
This is his best-performing movie of all time, and that’s saying something.

Moreover, it looks like Top Gun 2 will end up overtaking the original movie’s box office takings, which ended up at the $440 million (adjusted for inflation) mark domestically.
