Thinking this will make a billion worldwide is getting your hopes up way too high. I feel this might underperform domestically.

on its way to 1 billion.
this hasnt aged very well. ...lol
shareIt actually has a very good chance of reaching and surpassing your prediction. I've been a fan of Cruise forever (because of the max effort he puts into every single project he's involved in) so I'm quite happy to see that his movies are receiving the recognition they deserve from the moviegoing public worldwide.
shareDon't forget Joker made over a billion dollars and it had an R Rating. Top Gun will make a billion.
shareI went this morning to see Jurassic. It had about 1/4 full seating. But coming out it was good to see the parking lot full again with people going back to the movies.
shareIt will make that with Thor not out for another 2 weeks. Elvis will bomb so this will keep making money.

1,016mil actually, and still climbing. Only been in South Korea for a week. JoWilli's prediction is now getting worse by the day. It's going to be hard to find and edit all those places where you said only 1bil for this one. Imagine still being off by over a 100mil anyway? After all that? What a great movie to come out and see again during this July 4th holiday weekend!

1 billion?
you missed out on the skittles, they were the sour ones.
No problem, we can just go again, like so many others who'll see it twice this summer.
This thing is still in nearly 4000 theaters! And now with extended window, due to its success, this might be as bad as your DS2 prediction. Imagine two 200mil misses? You won't catch fc31's botch, but you'll have 2nd and 3rd worst locked down for a long time. I'll update the bad prediction leaderboard this weekend, so you get your proper discredit.
ok thanks, I appreciate your diligence regarding this matter. and its nice to be recognized...
shareYou'll need some major diligence to edit all those places you obsessively reiterated your prediction once it was getting close. You were crowing about 1bil everywhere!
So, another 9-10mil domestic before the big weekend. The JW dinosaurs didn't have legs, and Minions, The Rise of Gru will drag some parents to take their kids to that one -- but the rest? Some older folks might see Elvis, but I think TG2 will still have a solid 7/4 draw. And least another 40mil will come from So Korea by the end of its run. So, 1016+10+40+this long holiday weekend alone will damage your oft mentioned prediction of only 1bil. Wrong again. By a lot!
its just nice to be nominated for this prestigious award, I guess I better start working my speech just in case I win.
sharefc31 is the king, sorry. His prediction will be off by over 100%
sharewell farts, again I am glad to just be in the running for this award. have you decided on a name for the award yet? will there be an official ceremony?

It will gross nowhere near 1 billion. More like $500m max and even that's generous.

1 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.
[–] Volley (2932) 3 months ago
Under 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.
[–] WhereIsRent (716) 2 months ago
I'd love it to make that much. Sadly it probably won't even make half as much as Jurassic World 3 despite Top Gun most definitely looking like it'll be a much better film.
[–] TheArgentinian (3915) 2 months ago
You can't make 1 billion without young audiences and they don't give a fuck about Top Gun
[–] MartyDeniro (2577) 2 months ago
No, 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
No Cold War level tension + plane designs unchanged in 35 years = flop

shareI can't believe you looked again. Oh, and your prediction is wrong by 191mil and counting. You should've predicted 1.2bil, but YOU DIDN'T, lol
shareone billion? good prediction 3 months ago. everyone else said it would fail.

dang, impressive numbers. Tom Cruise is by far the greatest action/hero star of any generation.
1 billion?
when do I get my award?
shareSorry, fc31 is still the king, but you take #2,3,4. He gets the most awful prediction; you get the most number of awful predictions. Your prize is 1 ticket to a matinée showing of Thor: Love and Thunder. Just go to the booth and give them your name and they'll give it to you.
sharehaha ok thanks, I saw Thor a while back. it was terrible but at least Padme was hawt.
congrats to fc31.
I like Skittles. Especially the sour ones.
