Maverick is called the most successful sequel in history

Top Gun Maverick is a sequel to the Tony Scott movie. The first Top Gun starring Tom Cruise, Val Kilmer, and Kelly McGillis premiered in 1986 and became a box office hit. With a $15 million budget, Top Gun grossed more than $357 million and became somewhat of a Hollywood classic. However, the sequel has all chances to surpass its predecessor. It has already done it in many aspects. Maverick is now referred to as the most successful sequel in movie history since Terminator: Judgment Day. Directed by Joseph Kosinski, the film was the main dark horse of the year. Nobody expected the success it had in cinemas this summer. However, both critics and viewers have ranked it high: the movie rates are 8.6/10 on IMDB and 97% on RottenTomatoes. Its amazing performance at the box office and expected Oscar nominations are worth talking about too.

Top Gun 2 exceeds all expectations at the box office

When we made up our list of highest-grossing movie predictions, nobody could have imagined that Top Gun Maverick would be a serious competitor to Doctor Strange 2 or another Thor movie. However, it seems that the era of superhero movies is coming to an end. There is simply no other explanation why the military-themed drama film is the most successful movie at the box office in 2022. As of the end of July, Maverick has grossed more than $1.2 billion worldwide. Half of this amount came from the domestic box office. Tom Cruise and company left behind Benedict Cumberbatch and his crazy multiverse (the sequel to Doctor Strange grossed just $954 million so far), to say nothing about Jurassic Park 3 and Hemsworth & Portman’s reunion in Taika Waititi’s Thor: Love and Thunder

The only movies that can theoretically beat Top Gun 2 by the final box office results are Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and Avatar: The Way of Water. The first one would be the sequel to the 2018 Black Panther starring Chadwick Boseman, who unexpectedly passed away in 2020. Hence, movie fans are expected to make a tribute as they did after Paul Walker’s death before the production of Furious 7. James Cameron’s Avatar became the highest-grossing movie of all time in 2009, so people have high hopes for the sequel. Will blue aliens beat Tom Cruise’s planes at the end of 2022?

Early-bird Top Gun Maverick Oscar predictions are out

Top Gun Maverick Oscar predictions are as optimistic as its box office success. The movie has good chances to get nominations for the most prestigious movie award in at least four categories. They are Best Picture, Best Director, Best Sound, and Best Song. Everything is clear with the Best Picture and Best Director nominations. The sky-high rates of the movie as well as an overwhelming number of positive reviews can secure Maverick a spot on the list of best films. The movie director Kosinski is one of two people to praise, so 22Bet offers great odds on him being nominated for the Academy Award. Top Gun 2 is also believed to receive a nomination and award for Best Sound. This award is given for the most outstanding sound mixing, sound design & editing. Considering the theme of the movie, the team would definitely receive a well-deserved award.  Finally, Top Gun Maverick Oscar predictions are optimistic towards “Hold My Hand”, a theme song from the movie. Written and performed by Lady Gaga, it is currently the main favorite in its nomination - Best Song. Interestingly, Gaga has recently won the award in the same category for “Shallow” from A Star Is Born
