With the way Top Gun: Maverick is doing at the WW box office, will it have a chance at outgrossing Transformers 3’s $1.123B to be the second highest grossing Paramount film worldwide only behind Titanic?

99.99% chance of it happening.

Yes it has a chance, and that chance is 100%.

They need to get Lightyear on Disney+ next weekend. Its theatrical run is over before it even got started.

Only after it gets to the $100m domestic mark, it can happen.

Does Titanic even count given it was a Fox movie outside the US?

Titanic isn't Paramount film outsode U.S. So the biggest Paramount film worldwide is Tf3.

Unless it gets a 40%+ increase and a small sunday drop, I doubt it.

Yeah, the drop was expected. I think we should only expect $2.5M at the most this weekend.

Elvis grossed an estimated $12.7M on Friday (from 3,906 locations), including preview grosses.#ElvisMovie #BoxOffice @warnerbros @ElvisMovie

I think we can dismiss the theory that older women aren't going to see films.

finally we can't avoid mentioning Avatar anymore! Was funny to watching people here add random filters to the lists they were making. Filters that made Top Gun look better at the expense of the highest grossing film of all time... though Avatar could afford it right, heh heh heh
