It also makes 'Multiverse of Madness' the 11th biggest opening in domestic box office history.
"Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness" is in theaters Friday but is already breaking box office records as the most pre-sold movie of the year so far.
The film, which has Doctor Strange battling evil forces across parallel universes, has already made $450 million worldwide. A Marvel movie doing well at the box office is not a surprise. The franchise has garnered more than $25 billion in ticket sales since 2008 and holds multiple box office records. However, this news is great for a theater industry that is still trying to reach a level of normalcy after the pandemic decimated business.
Thanks to hits like March's"The Batman" and April's"Sonic The Hedgehog 2," the box office has bounced back this year, but it still has a long way to go in order to reach pre-pandemic heights. But more openings like"Multiverse of Madness" this summer, historically the industry's most lucrative season, could help change that.
