The movie was released on May 27, 2022 and grossed $1.493 billion worldwide, which made it at the time the 11th highest-grossing movie in the world (behind Avatar 1, The Avengers 4, Titanic, Star Wars 7, The Avengers 3, Spider-Man No Way Home, Jurassic Park 4, 2019 Lion King, The Avengers 1 and Fast and Furious 7). It's now the 12th highest-grossing movie in the world. It's also the 2nd highest-grossing movie of 2022 (behind Avatar 2), the highest-grossing movie distributed by Paramount* (finally surpassing Transformers 3 after 11 years) and the highest-grossing movie of Tom Cruise's career (surpassing Mission Impossible 6). It was also the 1st movie of Tom Cruise's career to gross $800 million, $900 million and $1 billion. Even though I genuinly liked it more than all the Mission Impossible movies I admit I'm still kind of surprised it grossed more than all of them

*Unless you consider Titanic a Paramount movie, which was distributed by Paramount in the United States and grossed $1.843 billion in 1997 (and $2.256 billion after re-releases)

The movie was released on May 16, 1986 and grossed $353 million worldwide in its initial release (and $357 million after re-releases), which made it at the time the 10th highest-grossing movie in the world (behind E.T., A New Hope, Jaws, The Empire Strikes Back, Gone with the Wind, Indiana Jones 1, Return of the Jedi, Back to the Future 1 and Grease). It's now the 411th highest-grossing movie in the world*. It's also the highest-grossing movie of 1986

*It would rank 413th if The Exorcist (1973), which grossed $329 million in its initial release (and $441 million after re-releases), Beauty and the Beast (1991), which grossed $331 million in its initial release (and $424 million after re-releases), Spirited Away (2001), which grossed $274 million in its initial release (and $357 million after re-releases), Apollo 13 (1995), which grossed $353 million in its initial release (and $355 million after re-releases) and this movie had never been re-released
