The second Doctor Strange movie has managed to gross a total of $551.6 million across the world, according to BoxOfficeGuru founder Gitesh Pandya. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness has taken $230.4 million at the US box office alone, making it the third highest-grossing movie in the US since 2019. The top couple of spots are still taken by Spider-Man: No Way Home and The Batman, but there’s still plenty of time for this to change seeing as the movie only enters its second week in theaters today.
