The man's still got it.
"Top Gun: Maverick" is the first movie starring Tom Cruise to draw $65 million on the opening day domestic box office. The film received $124 million over the weekend in the U.S. and $248 million worldwide.
This is a pretty remarkable feat considering the blockbuster films in which Cruise has starred, including the absolute BANGER "Mission: Impossible" series.
"The film debuted 28% above Cruise's last big hit, 'Mission: Impossible - Fallout' in 2018," Axios reports.
Judging from review data on Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic, it seems the film has "Generally favorable reviews" from critics, and "Universal acclaim" from the general audience.
