The Tom Cruise-starring film “Top Gun: Maverick,” “Jurassic World: Dominion,” and the Marvel production “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” were the top-grossing films worldwide in 2022.

With “Top Gun: Maverik”, Cruise managed to surpass the box office success of “Mission: Impossible – Fallout” in 2018, which grossed more than 791 million dollars (about 745 million euros) worldwide.

While the film garnered a 29% critical acceptance rate, according to the film’s Rotten Tomatoes page, data shows that fans around the world welcomed the project that evoked 1990s nostalgia with greater enthusiasm.

The second part of “Avatar”, by James Cameron, still on the billboard, has the challenge of surpassing or reaching the success of his first film, which is still the highest-grossing film in cinema history, having raised almost 3,000 million dollars (about 2,830 million euros).
