We told you yesterday that the weekend box office was close but now we have a winner. Once the final ticket sales for the weekend were in, “Elvis” came out on top of “Top Gun: Maverick” with $31.1M, while the Tom Cruise film brought in $29.6M.
“Top Gun’ scored a different kind of win over the weekend as it crossed the billion-dollar mark after 31 days in theaters, making it the first Cruise movie to top a billion dollars and the first this year to break the billion-dollar barrier.
