By Lindsey Bahr-AP Film Writer
(AP)–Tom Cruise got his first $100 million opening weekend with “Top Gun: Maverick.”

Paramount Pictures said Sunday that in its first three days in North American theaters, “Top Gun: Maverick” earned an estimated $124 million in ticket sales.

It’s a supersonic start for the long-in-the-works sequel and the film still has the wide-open skies of Memorial Day Monday to rake in even more cash.

According to projections and estimates, by Monday’s close “Top Gun: Maverick” will likely have over $150 million.

The film is playing on a record 4,735 North American screens.
