So TGM has done it. It outgrossed Transformers 2 for the second highest grossing film distributed by Paramount, DOM-wise of all time. Highest grossing Paramount movie DOM, currently still being Titanic. 💁🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️
With 3 (or 4 if you count the spinoff ”Zathura: A Space Adventure”) movies, yes.
The first one of them starring Robin Williams, Kirsten Dunst & Bonnie Hunt, and two of it’s sequels starring Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Karen Gillan & Jack Black.
Yup. And beating FB3’s WW-gross as well. 👩🏻💼🙆🏻♀️
Can the fastest hedgehog go over a Wizarding World spinoff-threequel? I mean who saw that coming before this year?
If neither DS2 or JWD hits $1B WW, they sadly might be on the group of ”Had shots at $1B+ but did not get there”. Along with the Hobbit sequels, The Jungle Book, Jumanji 2, Pirates 3, etc.
Why is $1B WW for a film getting a bit harder for certain films? 👩🏻💼🙍🏻♀️
So Top Gun: Maverick is currently at $357M DOM today. Overtaking Aladdin’s $355M, as the highest grossing film released on Memorial Day Weekend.
What next box office goal is there for TGM?
Fair enough. That seems understandable. 👩🏻💼
Though what if Universal did ever thought of wanting Vanessa Lee Chester (the actress who played Kelly) to return as that character in anything Jurassic-related in their franchise? Whether it be in another movie or a tv-show (if they might) or something. Just saying. 🤷🏻♀️
Though another question to those who m really like/are a fan & defender of Lost World: Did you really like that character?
Surely. Though that third one was and still is the lowest grossing film of the entire Jurassic franchise and the only one in the film series, not to hit $200M DOM.
Speaking of “The Lost World: Jurassic Park”, where’s Ian Malcolm’s daughter Kelly after the events of that film? Since we never get to know what happened to her afterwards during the entire franchise. 🤷🏻♀️
A beloved/popular director that could make the next type of Jurassic movies that are critic-pleasing? You know, with reception closer to the first Jurassic Park or so?
Top Gun: Maverick = First $300M DOM grosser for Tom Cruise.
Next goal: TGM = First $1B WW grosser for Tom Cruise
Will be interesting how Mission Impossible 7 & 8 does at the box office, considering that the eight film is the finale for the franchise.
There are still some critics who did give JW: Dominion positive reviews. So this film is not entering TF4-reception. Yeah, Dominion’s critical reception might be average, but not the bottom worst of all huge blockbusters.
True. You’re right. GA did like that movie just enough to make $1.6B+ WW, hence the considerably higher audience rating. 👩🏻💼💁🏻♀️👍🏻
I was more going for the critic reception as a comparison. 🤷🏻♀️
