Wizard Wobble A Wake-Up Call For Marvel As ‘Doctor Strange 2’ Falls 67% In Weekend 2; Audiences Run Cold On ‘Firestarter’
https://variety.com/2022/film/box-of...bs-1235267407/In its second weekend of release, the latest installment in Disney’s Marvel Cinematic Universe has collected $61 million from 4,534 North American theaters. Ticket sales were down 67% from its opening weekend, marking a steeper drop off compared to recent Marvel movies like “Eternals” (which declined 61% in its second weekend) and “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings” (which declined 52% in its second weekend). However, that sizable decline is not surprising since “Doctor Strange 2” is coming off the 11th biggest opening weekend in history with $187 million. After 10 days on the big screen, the standalone superhero adventure has grossed a strong $291 million in North America.
At the international box office, the “Strange” sequel added $83.5 million from 49 markets. In total, the film has grossed $688.1 million globally.
I saw other reports saying doctor strange 2 may not hit a billion.
Let's keep mind that china and now russia and a few other places were out of the picture.
Now because of china and russia,but china more so there is no guarantee that any film from any studio will hit a billion post covid.
Films that could have made a billion pre covid is less so now.
Anyway just be happy if it makes 800 million or close to a billion and disney with their recent views are making it known now and are preparing folks for that,but some how anti-disney folks will spin it.
