Unsurprisingly, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness multiplied admissions to climb to the top of the box office in North America, according to provisional figures published Sunday by the specialized firm Exhibitor Relations. The sequel to the adventures of the red-cloaked wizard, which sees the Marvel hero played by Benedict Cumberbatch explore the multiverse, generated $ 185 million in three days across the Atlantic, leaving only crumbs for the competition, and grossing over $450 million internationally in less than a week. It’s the second-best launch since the start of the coronavirus pandemic behind Spider-Man: No Way Home, which had already successfully visited worlds coexisting parallels by grossing $260 million in 2021. The success of Doctor Strange shows that the box office is through with the dark days of the pandemic, grossing nearly ten times as much as the same weekend the last year. It relegates far behind the animated film The Bad Guys, about outlaw animals struggling to become nice, which only raked in $9.8 million in three days. We find in third place another animal, the blue hedgehog, which collected 6.2 million with Sonic 2. More animals, fantastic this time, in fourth place with The Secrets of Dumbledore, a new episode in the saga derived from the world of Harry Potter. The film recorded $4 million. Everything Everywhere All at Once, a feature film also traveling to the absurd in the universe of parallel worlds, completes the top 5 with 3.3 million in revenue for its 7th week. Here is the rest of the top 10: 6. The Northman ($2.8 million)7. The Secret of the Lost City (2.5 million)8. A talent in solid gold (1.5 million)9. Memory Box (1.2 million)10. Father Stu ($800,000)
