Tom Cruise is currently building on the success of his latest released film Top Gun: Maverick, which is set to become the all-time top-grossing film of his career at the US box office.
According to a Deadline report, the film has collected US$273.6 million by the end of the second week.
Cruise's previous highest-grossing title has been filmmaker Steven Spielberg's 2005 science-fiction title War of the Worlds, which grossed US$234 million.
Top Gun: Maverick, which released on May 27, 2022, is expected to surpass War of the Worlds' collections and outperform over the weekend, the outlet reported.
The Mission: Impossible star's domestic box-office success comes a week after Top Gun: Maverick grossed a whopping $153 million and broke Memorial Day weekend records.
Fans are loving Cruise's performance in the patriotic film, who reprized his iconic role as Captain Pete Maverick Mitchell more than three decades after the original "Top Gun" hit theaters.
Directed by Joseph Kosinski, Top Gun: Maverick also stars Jennifer Connelly, Lewis Pullman, Charles Parnell, Jay Ellis, Jon Hamm, Ed Harris, Bashir Salahuddin, Danny Ramirez and Monica Barbaro.
