Per Variety, Doctor Strange made an impressive $85 million, which is the tenth-highest debut in the history of the MCU.
Nevertheless, this is a tremendous start for Doctor Strange and is further illustration that Marvel can turn just about anything into a successful movie.
That movie opened with $85.7 million in November of that year, en route to $206.3 million domestically.
There’s still much to explore in the Doctor Strange mythos, so fortunately the filmmakers will get that chance.
