No. It does not include streaming. I believe streaming numbers are a bit harder to get, and I don't think it's in the purview of The-Numbers.
But I did just look at an update on the total Worldwide Box Office Number and it actually went down $10 Million from when I wrote that last post from 1.475 Billion to 1.465 Billion.
It's not the first time that's happened. I need to stop quoting those numbers on or right after the weekend. (It only made $96,810 in the US on Monday, it's 130th day in theaters, which was the first day that it didn't make over $100k).
So it only got about $3.4 Million help internationally over the weekend, minus Monday's numbers worldwide.
Can it make $35 million more in the theaters???
No doubt it's going to crack 2 Billion with streaming and BluRay, but I'd love to see a nice round 1.5 Billion in the Box Office first.

My town is down to 5 showings of Maverick today, only 2 at the big cinema. But I see several showings at other cinemas I like to visit.

Maverick is now less than $18 Million away from cracking the $1.5 Billion barrier.
It may just happen.

ce
It wouldn't be enough to get it any higher than 11 on the worldwide box office or 5 on the domestic box office for all time, but if it does get there that leaves it only $14.5 Million shy of 10 on the worldwide box office and $15.1 Million shy of 9.

TopGun was a good entertaining movie
However what I find weird is Hollywood is not just out of ideas... it s really, relly out of idea, very very empty when it comes to original creativity
a remake of a 1986 American action film
That said it deserves its Dollar Numbers and box office success, it was the best blockbuster of the year

Some countries have later release with subtitle, marketing, dubbing etc it had its premier at the Cannes Film Festival in France but some countries it came out much later
but all of it adding up
Japan $97,861,829
French $46,132,167
Brazil $22,212,272
Switzerland $10,878,405
Spanish $11,077,437
Greece $2,116,766
Finland $6,220,173
Italy $13,897,726
Australia $64,916,260
Singapore $6,152,128
Can an overseas person enjoy it for its 'Art' can an American enjoy Kaiser Germany Porcelain and Imperial Germany Art or a Cuban film or Soviet film or Indian film be good even if it has propaganda, Green Berets is seen as an example of bad film, Wings an example fo good film, even there is Americana propaganda... cooperation between the United States Department of Defense and entertainment industries
The movie moved at good pace, I also enjoyed seeing Val Kilmer the movie magic done to have him onscreen.

I'll be the first to say that Maverick wasn't a Great flick.
It was good. It was entertaining. And I'm sure for people who REALLY remember the first movie and have a big nostalgic place in their heart for it I'm sure the impact was much greater.
But it wasn't a great flick.
That just speaks to how powerful making something that is entertaining with a decent enough story that just DOESN'T PREACH TO YOU is in 2022.
People are so sick and tired of that bullshit. Especially when the economy is shit and people don't have time for every little bullshit Leftist gripe on Twitter by some overpaid shithead in the media.
I love Maverick because it is NOT a great flick yet it ends up being the 5th highest Domestic movie of all time.
It's a huge Fuck You to the diversity-minded dildos in Hollywood that shouldn't even be managers at WalMart, let alone be in charge of $200 Million Dollar movies.
No better time to fire all of these people than now. Layoffs are the bullet proof vest you need to rid yourself of all of the undesirables without having to worry about getting sued for being a sexi-ista-phobe.
Do it now, or fade away into the night.
I really don't care either way.
I was done with you long before you REALLY gave people a reason to be done with you.
The creative bankruptcy in Hollywood for the last 25 years was the chink in the armor that allowed all of this woke trash to co-opt and destroy the entertainment business in the first place. You deserve everything coming to you.

In all fairness, it wasn't an award winning movie. It was just fun to see a movie that was on-par with your summer Blockbuster fare of the 90's that didn't spend 2 hours preaching to you for once in the last 10 years is all.
I'd much rater see a movie like Edge of Tomorrow win awards than Maverick, if we're going to give them to Tom Cruise.
At least the "academy" decided to mostly give the awards to a movie that normal people went to watch and enjoyed this year. They must really be hard up to do that. And word is that they were all told to shut the fuck up about their opinions this year too.
I would still never sit through one of these things, but I've heard it was at least somewhat palatable to people just slightly Right of Karl Marx for the first time in a decade, even with Jimmy Dipshit hosting it.

Growing up in a Republic was nice... Shame we couldn't keep it.

I didn't see their movies, and I wouldn't watch the Oscar Awards show if you paid me, but I actually like ALL the acting Oscar winners this year. I saw a picture of Ke Huy Quan, aka Short Round, hugging his hero Harrison Ford ... very cool!

Have you not seen Everything Everywhere All At Once?
You should watch it. Quan was great.
Fun movie.
