(HOLLYWOOD REPORTER) -- Superheroes and horror aren’t the only game in town anymore at the pandemic-era box office.
In a promising sign for the summer season, Paramount and Skydance’s Top Gun: Maverick scored the best Memorial Day opening of all time with a projected three-day domestic haul of $126.7 million and $156 million for the four days. Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End was the previous record holder with a treasure chest of $153 million, according to Disney.
A better-than-expected Sunday pushed the estimates higher than the original $151 million weekend reported by Paramount.
