The numbers are still fluctuating, but it’s currently looking like Doctor Strange could open to a three-day weekend gross between $65 million and $70 million domestically when all is said and done.
A brand new report from Deadline indicates that Doctor Strange will open to an incredibly strong start this weekend.
While that’s definitely a far more modest gross than Captain America: Civil War’s $181 million three-day gross, it’s a solid start for an obscure character in a standalone movie, as the film is already closing in on the $100 million mark overseas anyway.
Beyond that, the increased cost of 3D tickets is expected to bolster Doctor Strange’s overall gross, as those who have seen the film have thus far raved about its use of the technology.
