Top Gun - Box office performance
When the film opened in the United States on the 16 May 1986, opening at number one with a $8,193,052 intake on its first weekend, it went on to take in a total domestic figure of $176,786,701, opening in a total of 1,531 theaters. Internationally it was embraced, taking in $177,030,000 for a worldwide box office total of $353,816,701.
Top Gun - Video release
Top Gun went on to break further records in the then still-developing home video market. Backed by a massive $8 million marketing campaign, the advanced demand was such that the film became the best-selling videocassette in the industry's history on pre-orders alone.
Top Gun's home video success was again reflected by strong DVD sales, which was furthered by a special edition release in 2004 which sold a massive number of copies.
Top Gun - Theme Park Ride
Since 1993, Paramount's Great America (located in Santa Clara, California) has been home to an inverted roller coaster called "Top Gun" based off of the movie.
Top Gun - Other
Unsurprisingly, it boosted the Air Force and Navy's recruitment. This was evident in the fact that the Navy used its success by having recruitment booths in some theaters to lure enthusiastic patrons. "It's hard to put exact numbers on how many people it brought in, but it sure has helped." said Lieutenant Sandy Irwin.
Sales of Ray Ban 'Aviator' sunglasses jumped 40%, due to their ongoing appearance in the film, predominantly by Maverick and Iceman. People wanted to capture the personalities of the Top Gun characters by wearing the same sunglasses, which became highly fashionable and continue to do so even more today.
Top Gun also spawned a number of video games for various platforms.
