Top Gun: Maverick continues to break records. The movie has now made $701 million in North America.

This puts it in an elite category of being only 1 of 6 movies to cross the $700 million mark at the domestic box office.

Top Gun added $7.5 million to its total over Labor Day weekend returning it to the #1 spot. It is the first movie to be #1 on both Memorial weekend and Labor Day weekend.

It has edged past Marvel’s Black Panther which made $700.4 million domestically. Black Panther previously held the #5 spot as the highest grossing movie domestically. That spot now belongs to Top Gun.

Top Gun has made $740 million overseas and $1.44 billion worldwide.
