Doctor Strange and his multiverse got to linger a little longer atop the weekend box office as Tom Cruise and 'Top Gun' wait in the wings.
British actor Benedict Cumberbatch attends a premiere of his movie "Dr. Strange" in Hong Kong, Thursday, Oct. 13, 2016. Doctor Strange and his multiverse got to linger a little longer atop the weekend box office as Tom Cruise and "Top Gun" wait in the wings.
"This film has had a pretty wide open marketplace," said Paul Dergarabedian, the senior media analyst for Comscore. "This weekend really is, this is the proverbial calm before the storm." "Top Gun" represents two seemingly fading phenomena -- the major movie star and the big-screen-only experience, for which Cruise has been a tireless ambassador. And the industry is hoping they will help bring a more familiar summer for theaters.
But while the world waits, "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness" crossed the $800 million mark in global grosses, surpassing "The Batman" to become the top-grossing film of the year. Holdover family films "The Bad Guys" and "Sonic the Hedgehog 2" took the third and fourth spots. Universal's "The Bad Guys" added $6.1 million in its fifth week. "Sonic 2" earned $3.9 million in its seventh.
