With TopGunMaverick inching its domestic gross closer to $400 million, the film looks likely to blast past “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” as North America's highest grossing 2022 release sometime in the coming week.
Universal’s dino-sequel is expected to earn $142.6 million from 4,676 theaters across North America over the weekend, which would mark the highest domestic opening for a non-superhero film since COVID-19 lockdowns were first introduced. That dethrones the $126 million benchmark set by the debut of “, Universal had projected the sixth installment in the “Jurassic Park” franchise to earn $132.5 million moving into the weekend.
With a $185 million production price tag before marketing and distribution costs, “Jurassic World Dominion” will need to continue a run as a box office behemoth to see green. Critics have largely disliked “Dominion,” with the film earning a series-low 31% approval rating from all critics on Rotten Tomatoes. Audiences seem to be more receptive though, as they usually are with the franchise. The dino-sequel earned an “A-” grade from CinemaScore, indicating strong responses from general ticketbuyers. While this massive opening weekend is generally proving to be a critic-proof affair, it remains to be seen how general word-of-mouth will land in the coming weeks.
With “Maverick” inching closer to the $400 million domestic mark, the film looks likely to blast past “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” as the year’s highest grossing release at the domestic box office sometime in the coming week.
