DOCTOR STRANGE IN THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS Gets A B+ CinemaScore
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness got off to a strong start at the box office, but Sam Raimi's sequel doesn't seem to be polling too well with audiences, as the film received a B+ CinemaScore.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness may have gotten off to a strong start at the box office (both in The US and overseas), but Sam Raimi's mind-bending sequel doesn't seem to be polling as high with audiences as previous MCU movies.
The Master of the Mystic Arts' second solo outing received a B+ CinemaScore, and while that may not sound too bad, this is only the third time an MCU film has scored lower than an A. Eternals was given a franchise low B, but everything else has been graded A- and above since Thor's B+ in 2011.
CinemaScores don't necessarily mean a whole lot since they only poll a small amount of moviegoers leaving the theater on opening night, but it will be interesting to see if In The Multiverse of Madness continues to perform well over the next week or so. The reviews have been (mostly) positive (you'll find our verdict here), although its Rotten Tomatoes score has now dipped to 76%.
In Marvel Studios’ Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, the MCU unlocks the Multiverse and pushes its boundaries further than ever before. Journey into the unknown with Doctor Strange, who, with the help of mystical allies both old and new, traverses the mind-bending and dangerous alternate realities of the Multiverse to confront a mysterious new adversary.

‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness’ Receives B+ CinemaScore
While Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness has left quite the impression to draw in a crowd at the box office, we now also finally know what CinemaScore the film has received from audiences. Eternals surprised people back during its release when it received Marvel Studios’ worst Audience Score with a B, which might very likely be connected to its very different storytelling approach and even something like the inclusion of a sex scene that sometimes rubs general audiences the wrong way. Now, Multiverse of Madness has received its rating and now stands at a B+.
the score is the same that Fantastic Beasts: the Secrets of Dumbledore received as well as The Lost City. Even The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent and Uncharted were given a B+ rating from audiences. 2022’s Scream also got a B+ rating earlier this year and given Multiverse of Madness’ horror roots, it wouldn’t be too surprising that it played a key role in how the general audience reacted to the film. While some believe B+ or even a B rating signals “bad quality,” it’s more a reflection of elements in that film potentially catching audiences off-guard.
So far, it seems Morbius was one of the few films to actually get hit with the lowest CinemaScore, as it received a C+. The original 2011 Thor was for some time given the “worst” Marvel Cinematic Universe rating with B+ before Eternals release in theaters. Still, the film seems to be pulling in quite a few people into theaters and it’s horror roots may potentially also give it an extra boost, as even with lower CinemaScores they have pretty strong legs at the box office.

CinemaScore
What the score means
quote-
The company's founder, Ed Mintz, once said that "A's generally are good, B's generally are shaky, and C's are terrible. D's and F's, they shouldn’t have made the movie, or they promoted it funny and the absolute wrong crowd got into it." This is a good rule of thumb, but it's important to note that it also depends on genre. In summer 2019, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood was a box-office success while Men in Black: International disappointed. Both had received a B grade.
quote-
Horror movies, by contrast, score lower on average. The Conjuring, which scored an A- in 2013, was the very first horror movie to score better than a B+ average. B's are generally good for horror movies, while C's are generally shaky. A variety of reasons have been put forward as to why this is. The most common view is that horror fans have divided expectations: some will get disappointed if a horror film doesn't have enough gore or overt scares, while others prefer tropes like Nothing Is Scarier.
quote-
Other types of film that are prone to scoring badly are Le Film Artistique and others that are meant to be unsettling or highly experimental. A bad score can also be a sign of Misaimed Marketing or a film that did not live up to audience expectations in some way. The latter may explain why Punch-Drunk Love and Uncut Gems got relatively poor scores (D+ and C+ respectively). Both starred Adam Sandler, so they may have attracted viewers expecting comedies.
