Top Gun: Maverick remains the bookmakers favourite at 4/9 to be the highest grossing film of 2022
Tom Cruise film Top Gun: Maverick remains the 4/9 favourite with bookmakers to be the highest grossing movie of 2022.
So far at the Box Office the movie has made $1,463,770,457 and it'll take an astronomical effort from Avatar 2 to surpass that in such a short space of time.
The sequel to the all-time Box Office leading film Avatar, released in 2009, has been highly anticipated ever since the original film was released 13 years ago.
Paddy Power keeps Top Gun: Maverick as the favourite in the betting though at 4/9 giving it a 69% chance of staying as the highest grossing film of the year.

The sequel to 80s film Top Gun is smashing box office figures
Top Gun: Maverick is by far the biggest film of Tom Cruise's career with more than $1.4b taken at the Box Office.
Mission: Impossible - Fallout was Cruise's previous highest grossing film with $791m earned globally but that's been surpassed by Top Gun: Maverick.
Top Gun: Maverick has now gone past Black Panther and Avengers: Infinity War in the US Domestic all-time chart with $709m earned.
The movie is clear favourite to be the highest grossing film of 2022 from the 16/1 it was just at the start of June.
Avatar 2 is 15/8 second favourite to smash the Box Office and be highest grossing movie this year
Avatar 2, the sequel to James Cameron's Box Office Hit Avatar, has drifted out to 13/8 in the betting odds to be the highest grossing film of 2022.
The first Avatar film has the highest all-time Box Office grossing with $2,847,397,339 being taken worldwide by the film.
Avatar had massive success partly due to the 3D technology that the movie had, being one of the first big Box Office films to use the 3D technology to its maximum potential.
