Today we have word that Doctor Strange’s advanced box office figures have out-paced at least two previous Marvel hits, Ant-Man and Thor.
Last month, box office analysts predicted that Marvel’s Phase Three adventure Doctor Strange would pull in roughly $75 million during its opening weekend, but some have predicted that it could make more than $80 million this weekend.
Check back on Sunday to see how Doctor Strange and fellow newcomers Hacksaw Ridge and Trolls fare at the box office.
Both Thor and Ant-Man put up nearly identical numbers at the box office, despite opening four years apart.
