Last week, the eagerly anticipated Marvel Cinematic Universe’s 28th film Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness was released. Audiences have been flocking theaters since opening night; which has been very well received due to its positive reviews and high ratings.
In this article, we take an analytical glance at the collection for Doctor Strange’s opening weekend, compare it to other Hollywood films and see how successful it really was. Collecting Rs. 79.50 crores this film has come in at number four on the list of all time highest grossers in India while surpassing previous Hollywood releases such as The Lion King (Rs. 54.75 crore), Spider-Man: Far from Home (Rs. 46.66 crore), Fast and Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw (Rs 74 crore) or even Fast and Furious 8 (Rs 91 crores). However, according to our calculations some had a higher take than Dr. Strange including Avengers Endgame which collected 107 crores, just released Spider Man: No Way Home collecting 109 crores, or even last year’s blockbuster Avenger Infinity Wars with a total collection of 94 crores!
Currently, Marvel’s Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness has been doing well among audiences. However, trade predictions predict that its business will take a dip when it comes to box office collections on weekdays. In addition, with KGF – Chapter 2 still going strong, this Hollywood release is expected to compete against other big releases at the box office.
