Disney CEO Bob Chapek touts the 'phenomenal success' of Marvel Studios' DoctorStrange at the box office, previews 'incredibly strong' 2022 slate of Marvel, Avatar and Pixar on Disney earnings call:
✖ Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is making magic — and money — at the box office. The Marvel Studios sequel, teaming franchise stars Benedict Cumberbatch and Elizabeth Olsen with Spider-Man trilogy director Sam Raimi, cast a spell over the weekend with a global $450 million, Marvel's fourth-best worldwide opening behind Avengers: Endgame, Avengers: Infinity War, and Spider-Man: No Way Home.
"[Doctor Strange 2] opened to roughly $450 million worldwide this past weekend. Domestically, it was the second-highest opening of the pandemic era and the 11th-highest opening of all time," Chapek said on the call, also touting the streaming success of Pixar's Turning Red, Lucasfilm's Star Wars: The Book of Boba Fett, and Marvel Studios Original series Moon Knight on Disney+.
After experimenting with day-and-date releases for Marvel blockbuster Black Widow and the Dwayne Johnson-starring Jungle Cruise last summer via Disney+ Premier Access, a response to theater closures amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Disney returned to a guaranteed 45-day exclusive theatrical window for Marvel movies Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings and Eternals.
