Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness Is Now The Highest Grossing Movie Of 2022
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness ended its third theatrical weekend atop the domestic box office, generating $31.6 million to close out the three-day slate. The highly debated film has been met with mixed reviews from audiences and critics but has swiftly become the highest-grossing film worldwide in 2022, surpassing the previous titleholder, The Batman.
Multiverse of Madness has been a dominant figure at the box office ever since its official theatrical release, maintaining hold of the top spot over its three domestic weekends. Despite the troubling 67% drop in ticket sales from the previous weekend, the film continues to push forward, surpassing milestones that seemed impossible during the early stages of the pandemic. The film is quickly becoming one of the year's highest box office earners, but it still has some work to do domestically.

Per Deadline, the Doctor Strange sequel put forth a solid outing this past Friday, earning $8.5 million to close out the night.

The film has earned a combined $342 million over its three weekends, which sits second behind the $369 million generated by The Batman domestically.
