Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, starring Benedict Cumberbatch, had a fantastic first day at the box office in India. The film earned 27.5 crore on its first day in India, falling just short of the previous Marvel release, Spider-Man: No Way Home, which earned 33 crore. It could be the film that knocks KGF Chapter 2 off the top of the box office charts.
Taran Adarsh, a film trade analyst, tweeted the figures on Saturday. He went on to say that the film’s first-day box office is fourth best in Hollywood, behind Avengers: Endgame, Spiderman: No Way Home, and Avengers: Infinity War. “#DoctorStrange is MARVEL-ous on Day 1… India’s 4TH BIGGEST HOLLYWOOD OPENER… *Day 1* business… [2019]” #AvengersEndgame: 53.10 million dollars, [2021] #SpiderMan: 32.67 million dollars, [2018] #AvengersInfinityWar: 31.30 million dollars, [2022] 27.50 crores for #DoctorStrange All versions of #India business.”
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness grossed $36 million in previews in the United States on Thursday. By the end of the weekend, it’s expected to have made $175 million. According to Collider, the film has made $60 million in advance ticket sales in the United States and $85 million internationally.
Part two of Marvel Studios’ Doctor Strange (2016) marks Benedict Cumberbatch’s fifth appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Dr Stephen Strange aka Sorcerer Supreme. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness will see him attempting to contain the fallout from his multiverse-fracturing spell, which he cast in the 2021 hit film Spider-Man: No Way Home, causing villains from all over the multiverse to invade the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s central hub.
