"'*Doctor Strange 2' at # 1 as 'Firestarter' posted a weak $3.8-M debut after opening day and date on Peacock" *--Paul Ebeling

Marvel Studios and Disney’s *Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness*, starring Benedict Cumberbatch, finished its 2nd frame with nearly $700-M in global ticket sales.

Directed by Sam Raimi, the sequel grossed $61-M from 4,534 theaters for a 10-day domestic total of $291.9-M. The film dipped 67% from its $187-M opening; Disney had hoped for a decline more in the 65& range,

Overseas, the superhero pic earned another $83.5-M for a foreign total of $396.2-M and global take of $688.1-M
