This article contains Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness spoilers.
Marvel Studios is in absurdly fine financial shape. It seems odd to state that out loud, but given the “sky is falling” pieces running lately, it feels pertinent to remind folks of this fact. Their latest film, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, has grossed 700 million worldwide to date while being in theaters for less than two weeks. It will certainly cross 800 million. Considering the first Doctor Strange tapped out at 677 million worldwide, and opened at less than half what the sequel did, this is a commercial win for a studio that can still demonstrate audience-brand loyalty to a stunning degree.
Perhaps then it is the envy of that loyalty—and the fact that studios have spent most of the last decade attempting to emulate it to mixed results—which speaks to the real doom and gloom write-ups circling Doctor Strange 2’s reception.
