Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness saw a steep drop in its US box office number in the second weekend. The Benedict Cumberbatch starrer opened with a thunderous three-day weekend, making $187 million in the US and $450 worldwide, which became record-breaking for the movie.
It was $100 million more than its predecessor and broke The Batman‘s opening record. Not just that, but the MCU flick has crossed the half a billion mark, garnering $688.06 million globally as of now. Despite all of this, the movie has only seen a decent growth during the weekdays and now a major drop in its number.
According to Deadline, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness saw a 67% fall in its second weekend as it made just $61 million. However, others suspect more than a 68% drop. However, the Benedict Cumberbatch starrer has still managed to hold the top position at the box office. The previous two MCU movies that saw a similar situation were Spider-Man: No Way Home and Black Widow.
No Way Home had a 67.5% drop while the Scarlett Johansson starrer had 67.8%. It is important to keep in mind that these can’t be compared with Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. The Tom Holland-led was released during the holiday season, which made huge chunks of money at that time while Black Widow had a hybrid release and lost millions due to piracy.
Not only did the movie face a drop in its box office, but also its rating. Three days after its premiere, the Rotten Tomatoes score dropped to a 74%, well below the MCU’s average rating of 84%. It has also received positive to mixed reviews from the audience.
Meanwhile, recently Elizabeth Olsen, aka Scarlet Witch or Wanda, revealed that her body count in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness was much higher. Click here to read that.
