SATURDAY AM UPDATE: Paramount is now tracking Top Gun: Maverick at $150M over four days, which is the best opening ever stateside for Tom Cruise and director Joseph Kosinski.

Box office authority Comscore has solved a statistical dilemma that was popping up all night: They’ve verified that Top Gun 2 has a record four-day Memorial Day weekend opening here. It beats the four-day holiday start of 2007’s Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End ($139.8M) and the four-day of 2008’s Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull ($126.9M).

***

What’s happening here? Why so much success? Sequels to legacy movies work, even if the IP is 36 years old, and audiences have been yearning to see the further aerial adventures of Capt. Pete “Maverick” Mitchell. Is there a Risky Business sequel that’s been kicking around? And old people are certainly going here to Top Gun 2 in great numbers, with 45% over 45, 21% over 55.

The question is whether these numbers will shift to the younger folks as they discover the movie. Male to female ratio continues to be at 57% to 43%. Also a majority of the audience was over 25 at 87%. Diversity demos were 60% Caucasian, 15% Latino and Hispanic, 12% Black, & 13% Asian/other.

As we told you before, the pic is playing across the country, with the top 15 theaters being San Antonio, Nashville, Knoxville, Oklahoma City, three theaters in Salt Lake City, Denver, and Dallas. It’s like we haven’t seen a movie speak to the heartland like this since Clint Eastwood’s American Sniper (that movie’s wide break over the 4-day MLK in 2015 posted $107.2M).

While Hollywood doesn’t like to always be associated with Red States, there is definitely an underserved marketplace for that audience and military movies such as Top Gun 2. Only four of the sequel’s top cinemas were from LA, and one from NYC. Days of Thunder 2, anyone?

Yeah that was the first thing I noticed too lol

So basically this movie isn't "pandering to whites" at all, it's being watched by almost the exact demographic ratios that exist in the United States

Almost like regular people of all races like action movies featuring attractive normal people. Huh, really makes you think

There’s a difference in pandering and appealing to whites

This writer seems shocked that white people over the age of 25 and especially over 45 turned out to see a non-woke movie that doesnt force diversity

Wow, wonder if this has something to do with the fact that they made a movie that is actually pro-US instead of editing it to appeal to communist China
