‘Maverick’ has just surpassed “Titanic” as the seventh-highest grossing film of all-time. It’s an incredible feat, especially in a “post-pandemic” world. Unless a re-release of the film occurs, it will be comfortably positioned at #7 for the remainder of its run. Beyond that, the list of the top five domestic releases ever is mostly composed of films that have been released the 5 years or so, which alarmingly makes the case for inflation playing a major part in the highest-grossers list: “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” ($936 million)“Avengers: Endgame” ($853 million) “Spider-Man: No Way Home” ($804 million)“Avatar” ($760 million)“Black Panther” ($700 million)“Top Gun: Maverick” ($662 million) Of course, adjusted for inflation, “Titanic” actually made $1.2 billion in 2022 dollars, but let’s not complicate things too much. I’ve been vouching for total tickets sold to be the true indicator of the all-time box-office list, but nobody wants to really do the dirty work to figure that one out. Back to ‘Maverick.’ Even Quentin Tarantino is a fan, saying: My personal “Best Tom Cruise Performances:” Magnolia, Collateral, Born on the Fourth of July, Risky Business, The Color of Money, A Few Good Men, Minority Report, Rain Man, Eyes Wide Shut and … Tropic Thunder.
