A week after taking off at the box office, "Top Gun: Maverick" is still flying high.

Globally, the film has earned US$548.6 million so far, according to Paramount.

CNN reports the sequel to the 1986 blockbuster — which has Tom Cruise's Pete "Maverick" Mitchell teach a new set of recruits about the need for speed — made an estimated US$86 million in the US in its second weekend.

That's a drop of just 32% from the film's record setting opening last weekend.

"Maverick" notched the lowest percent change for any film that's opened to US$100 million, according to Paramount.

To put the second weekend of "Maverick" into further context, other major films such as May's "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness" dropped 67% in its second weekend and March's "The Batman" dropped 50%, according to Comscore (SCOR).
