Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness has held off Downton Abbey: A New Era to win its third straight domestic weekend box office.
As reported by Variety, Doctor Strange 2 brought in another $31.6 million domestically, pushing its total North American haul to $342 million. The latest Marvel film has reached $461 million internationally and has officially crossed $800 million worldwide.
Downton Abbey: A New Era earned $16 million in its first weekend and placed second. While it was a bit lower than projected, it performed well for those 55 and older as nearly 50% of ticket sales were from that demographic.
Internationally, Downton Abbey: A New Era brought in another $35 million, bringing its global tally to $51.7 million. This second Downton Abbey film cost $40 million to produce and was twice as expensive as the original.
Speaking of the original, the first Downton Abbey opened to $31 million at the domestic box office and crossed $192 million during its global theatrical run.
In our Downton Abbey: A New Era review, we said that it "starts out as a wistful return to the familiar before shedding its skin and letting the series’ nauseating ugliness come frothing to the surface. It goes from funny and charming to jaw-droppingly grim at the drop of a hat — a wild tonal whiplash that’s absolutely worth a watch. It’s a concentrated dose of Downton Abbey."
The Bad Guys took third place with $6.1 million and Sonic the Hedgehog 2 added another $3.9 million to its total. Rounding out the top five and finally knocking off Everything Everywhere All at Once was Alex Garland's Men with $3.29 million.
While Everything Everywhere All at Once's $3.1 million didn't make the top five, it did cross the $52 million mark and has officially become A24's highest-grossing domestic release in history.
