Top Gun: Maverick continues to soar.

With the holiday weekend’s earnings, the Top Gun sequel pushed past 2018’s Black Panther, which now stands at No. 6 in the all-time top-grossing films chart, with $700 million.
“It’s always the characters, the themes, the story,” producer Jerry Bruckheimer has said about the film’s success. “That’s what it’s all about; it’s about the emotion, it’s about bringing Iceman back, it’s about seeing a real movie.”
“It’s without a doubt, that Top Gun: Maverick is a true cultural touchstone embodying the power of the cinematic experience,” President and CEO of Paramount Pictures Brian Robbins said in a statement obtained by Yahoo! Entertainment. “As we celebrate this enormous achievement and the film’s massive impact, we want to extend our gratitude to Tom Cruise, our filmmakers and cast, Paramount’s marketing and distribution teams, and the legions of both new and longtime Top Gun fans who keep turning out to enjoy this remarkable movie.”
