Marvel Cinematic Universe continues to dominate the box office, both domestic and worldwide, with each new movie. The newest MCU chapter — Sam Raimi’s Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, according to the first results, easily topped the box office this weekend with $185 million domestically. This sequel earned $100 million more than the original Doctor Strange movie, which earned $85 million during the opening weekend back in 2016.

This makes Multiverse of Madness the seventh-best MCU opening. Avengers: Endgame is still in the first place with $357 million. Avengers: Age of Ultron is in sixth place with $191 million, which is $6 million more than Multiverse of Madness, and Captain America: Civil War is in eighth place with $179 million, which is $6 million less than Multiverse of Madness. An interesting fact is that every movie on the TOP 10 MCU domestic openings list eventually grossed over $1 billion, except Multiverse of Madness of course, but looking at it, it’s expected that this movie could reach that milestone.
