Top Gun: Maverick enjoyed a massive box office surge despite the skepticism of audiences regarding theatres.

Top Gun: Maverick Sets Japan On Fire!
Even after a year after its release, Top Gun: Maverick is continuing its rampage on the box office as the sequel has garnered massive numbers at the Japanese box office.

Until now the film has gained $101.5 million, beating out 2003’s The Last Samurai which was the previous best. This phenomenal global reception could be great for a prospective Top Gun 3.
