Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Elizabeth Olsen opened to a thunderous response in India. It was quite expected as Marvel enjoys a huge following here, and the film has already entered into top 10 Hollywood grossers in India.
Marvel enjoyed huge success in the post-pandemic era here with Spider-Man: No Way Home. It introduced the concept of the multiverse, thus creating a pre-release hype for the Doctor Strange sequel. Plus, the new theories regarding Tom Cruise’s debut in MCU as Iron Man raised the excitement further. Owing to all these things, the film took a fantastic start.
Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness released last Friday and made a whopping 79.50 crores over the weekend. The film did witness a fall on Monday and Tuesday, but it has still managed to get itself to the 100 crore mark as its total stands at 93.50 crores* after 5 days.
