Paramount is estimating the film to hit $151 million domestically by the end of the four-day holiday weekend in the North American market.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Paramount focused on a global marketing campaign for the film&#8217;s launch, bringing <em>Top Gun<\/em> back into the culture over 35 years after the release of the original. The studio activated innovative <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ParamountUK\/status\/1529791622296178688\" target=\"_blank\">digital signage campaigns across several major cities<\/a>, including a <em>Top Gun: Maverick<\/em> branded takeover of <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FourStarFilmsME\/status\/1529849135129579522\" target=\"_blank\">Dubai&#8217;s Burj Khalifa<\/a>. The studio hosted several high-profile premiere screenings of the film, including a first-look at CinemaCon in Las Vegas, and premiere events in San Diego, Mexico City, Cannes, London, and Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The strategy paid off with a $124 million international debut that is 28% ahead of 2018\u2019s <em>Mission: Impossible &#8211; Fallout<\/em>, making <em>Top Gun: Maverick<\/em> the highest-grossing opener of Tom Cruise\u2019s career. For Paramount, <em>Top Gun: Maverick<\/em> is the studio\u2019s second-highest live-action global opening weekend of all-time behind 2014\u2019s <em>Transformers: Age of Extinction<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The United Kingdom led all overseas markets with a $19.4 million bow from 735 locations, more than twice the amount earned by <em>Mission: Impossible &#8211; Fallout<\/em>, representing the biggest opening weekend for a Tom Cruise film and the biggest live action Paramount title. France came in at $11.7 million from 790 locations, topping both <em>No Time To Die<\/em> ($9.6M) and <em>Mission: Impossible &#8211; Fallout<\/em> ($8.6M). Australia rounds out the film\u2019s top three overseas markets, each of them grossing north of $10 million, with a $10.7 million take from 343 screens\u2014also ahead of <em>No Time To Die<\/em> ($8.2M) and <em>Mission: Impossible &#8211; Fallout<\/em> ($4.6M).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rest of the overseas landscape continues that trend, with <em>Top Gun: Maverick <\/em>giving Tom Cruise his best opening weekend in 32 markets and becoming Paramount\u2019s top live action debut in 18 markets.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Top Gun: Maverick | NEW Official Trailer (2022 Movie) - Tom Cruise\" width=\"798\" height=\"449\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/giXco2jaZ_4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;
