Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness experienced the biggest domestic opening of 2022, and continues to be the number one movie at the box office.

The sharp drop off is steeper in comparison to other recent Marvel films, such as Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, which declined by 52% in its second weekend, or Eternals, which saw a 61% decline.
All in all, the feature, starring Benedict Cumberbatch, 45, and Charlize Theron, 46, still earned a staggering $291 million total thus far in North America, and had the 11th biggest opening weekend in history with $187 million.
It also earned $688.1 million globally, which means it outdid the original Doctor Strange — which ended its theatrical run in 2016 with $232 million domestically and $677 million globally — in just two weeks.
