Deadline reports that Doctor Strange has scored an $86 million opening weekend across 33 markets, with the biggest share coming from Korea, where it managed an impressive $18.1 million.
So, it should come as no surprise to learn that Doctor Strange is also off to a strong start in international markets.
According to Deadline‘s assessment, Doctor Strange has debuted 49% ahead of Ant-Man, 37% ahead of Guardians of the Galaxy, and 23% ahead of Captain America: The Winter Soldier.
Though this is certainly great news for Marvel, the biggest challenge is still to come in a few days, when Doctor Strange will open in the two biggest film markets worldwide: North America and China.
