Marvel Studios 2022
With » Spider-Man: No Way Home » the first major Hollywood blockbuster celebrated its premiere at the end of 2021, the box office result of which could tie in with the time before the pandemic and apparently that was exactly the starting signal that cinema needed — because » Doctor Strange 2 ” aka “Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness” has now had a sensational start in cinemas worldwide.
Far surpassed «Doctor Strange».
The second adventure of Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) could not quite match the record numbers of «Spider-Man: No Way Home», but how strong «Multiverse Of Madness» started is shown in direct comparison to the first » Doctor Strange “:
In Germany, for example, twice (!) as many people bought a ticket for Part 2 as for Part 1: while «Doctor Strange» only sold 400,000 tickets on the first weekend, «Doctor Strange 2» now has 800,000 tickets.
A similar picture emerges when looking at the rest of the cinema market outside of North America. 160 percent of the sales of «Doctor Strange» were achieved internationally at the start , calculates the US industry magazine Deadline , namely a total of 265 million.
Equally sensational are the figures from the USA, which has meanwhile once again become the world’s most important cinema market for Hollywood films: «Doctor Strange» started in November 2016 with 85 million dollars in North America, with «Doctor Strange» you can put another one before it: 185 million Dollar is the preliminary official US box office result , but Deadline assumes that the actual box office will be even slightly higher.
4th place in the MCU ranking
Overall, after the long launch weekend, «Doctor Strange 2» has a worldwide gross of 450 million dollars (as of May 9, 2022) , although that is also an estimated number. In any case, one thing is certain: «Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness» is already a hit.
With around 450 million dollars, «Doctor Strange 2» not only managed the second best start of a Hollywood film during the corona pandemic, it is also the fourth best start of an MCU film ever — behind the mega hits «Avengers: Endgame», Avengers: Infinity War and Spider-Man: No Way Home.
» Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness » has been in German cinemas since May 4, 2022.
