Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is poised for a huge opening as one of the first major blockbusters of the coming summer months.
According to Variety, the Doctor Strange sequel is projected to make between $160 million and $180 million for its opening weekend in North America, where it’s set to play in more than 4,400 theaters. The report added that some believe the film could hit $200 million.
Looking globally, Multiverse of Madness is set to make in the range of $125 million to $140 million from international markets over its opening weekend. Put together, the Marvel film is looking at $340 million in global box office sales on the high end for its first weekend.
The film reportedly had a mighty budget of $200 million to produce, and that does not count what are surely very sizable marketing and promotion costs.
If Multiverse of Madness can live up to expectations at the box office, it would be 2022’s biggest opening weekend thus far, surpassing The Batman, which currently holds the record in 2022 with a $134 million opening weekend in the US.
2016’s original Doctor Strange made $85 million in the US for its opening weekend, ending its run with $232 million domestically and $677 million worldwide. Come from Sports betting site VPbet
