The wildly successful new film “Top Gun: Maverick” continues to rise up the all-time box office charts, and it recently passed another iconic film in lifetime domestic gross.
According to Box Office Mojo, “Maverick” has eclipsed “Titanic” to become the seventh highest-grossing movie ever in the United States.
The film had earned $664,758,251 domestically as of Wednesday.
″ is doing something that only a handful of films have ever done in the modern blockbuster era,” media analyst Jeff Bock told CNBC.
The top-grossing film of all time domestically is “Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens,” which brought in $936,662,225 in the U.S. It is followed by “Avengers: End Game” and “Spider-Man: No Way Home” to round out the top three. In fourth place is “Avatar,” fifth is “Black Panther” and sixth is “Avengers: Infinity War.”
Those are the only movies ever to make more than “Top Gun: Maverick” in the U.S.
Globally, “Maverick” had earned a lifetime gross of $1,354,758,251 as of Wednesday, which is good for 13th all-time.
When analyzing the success of this film, it is impossible not to notice its pro-America slant.
From the very beginning of the film, “Maverick” practically declares its love for America on the screen. There’s something inherently pro-American about F/A-18 Super Hornets taking off from an aircraft carrier while Kenny Loggins’ “Danger Zone” plays in the background.
