“It was expected to exceed $ 275 million globally despite not being played in Russia and China”, the Holly Wood reporter.
“Top Gun” earned $ 51.8 million on Friday with more than $ 19 million in previews from 4,700 theatres in North America.
Despite being one of the most famous stars of Holly Wood, Cruise could not offer a bigger movie than this one since 2005’s “War of the Worlds” with Dakota Fanning.
During the three-day weekend, the science-based film directed by Steven Spielberg earned $64.9 million.
Cruise and the “Top Gun” surprised the audience last weekend at the Cannes Film Festival for its European premiere which included eight fighter jets flying above the Palais with blue and red smoke streaming behind portraying the French flag.
