Despite the fact the movie was delayed over a year, and the 36 years between the two movies no one could have imagined how successful this sequel to Top Gun was going to be.
This weekend the movie takes £4.2 Million on its fourth weekend, this is a small 24% over the previous week.
The movie has now taken an incredible £57.3 Million in the UK and is showing no signs of slowing down.
The sequel movie is currently the 25th top movie in the UK, comparing it to the top movie of all time in the UK Star Wars: The Force Awakens that movie has taken £108.4 Million on its fourth weekend, so this is tracking about half that, although the 2015 Star Wars sequel had a massive built in audience, this is slow burning and using word of mouth.
The movie is the top film of 2022 in the UK where is could stay until the end of the year.
Top new movie of the weekend is the first Pixar movie to get a cinema release since the CGI animated studio released Onward at the start of 2020 as the world locked down to COVID-19.
