Los Angeles, May 6 - Marvel Studios/Dinsey's "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness" scored a remarkable Thursday preview with $36 million at the domestic (North America) box office. This is the biggest Thursday preview score for a Hollywood movie in 2022 and the 8th overall of all time.

Directed by Sam Raimi, "Doctor Strange 2" has been released in 4545 theaters in North America, which is the biggest release since 2019 and 5th biggest of all time. As compared to the recent top releases, "The Batman" was released in 4417 theaters, followed by "No Time To Die" (4407), and "Spider-Man: No Way Home" (4336).



"Doctor Strange 2" has been projected to score $150 million - $200 million in the opening weekend domestically. The numbers might go up with a strong 89% audience score on Rotton Tomatoes, though the critics' score is on the lower side with 77%.

Meanwhile, the first Doctor Strange opened to $85 million domestically in 2016, launching a new franchise for Marvel. The titular character, played by Benedict Cumberbatch, appeared in "Avengers: Infinity War" and "Endgame" and, much more recently, Sony and Marvel's $1.9 billion blockbuster, "Spider-Man: No Way Home", which grossed $50 million in previews on its way to a $260.1 million domestic debut.
