It was a huge blow for avid fans when they got to know that none of Tom Cruise’s previous movies ever gathered a $100 million collection at the domestic box-office. When finally fans got intrigued enough by watching the trailer of ‘Top Gun: Maverick’, they predicted that this film could give Tom Cruise his biggest opening at the box-office.
