Box Office: Top Gun Maverick Eyes $400 Mil Monday, Cronenberg’s “Crimes” Don’t Pay

Share

Even with the dinosaurs chewing all the scenery this weekend, the flyboys still came in winners.

“Top Gun Maverick” made another $50 million this weekend, ending up around $394 million. (Paramount lowballs their estimates, so could be a bit higher.)

The result is that “Maverick” will cross $400 million on Monday, which is quite a coup for director Joseph Kosinski. He has another movie coming to Netflix on Friday called “Spiderhead,” which will be lucky, I’m told, not to face box office scrutiny.

At the bottom of the box office barrel, Neon’s David Cronenberg outing, “Crimes of the Future” took in just $375K in its second week. Total now is $2 million. The party is over. Surgery is not the new sex.
