That was a brilliant stroke in regards to reach, as everyone saw that Sony/Marvel title, with Disney releasing the trailer online a few days after No Way Home‘s $260.1M second-best-ever domestic opening. Marvel wisely kicked off the marketing campaign for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness with a trailer at the end of Spider-Man: No Way Home. If my memory serves me right, that’s the first trailer that Marvel actually dropped for a subsequent MCU title in a pic’s end credits. By and large, AMC is commanding the highest average ticket price for the Sam Raimi movie at $14.84, with Regal second at $13.77. Hey, after being movie theaters were closed for roughly a year between 2020-2021, they gotta eat. Meanwhile, in case you were wondering, why, yes - the big chains and other exhibitors did upcharge on Doctor Strange 2 next to other films. That means Saturday was +6% over Friday, which is great and means the movie isn’t collapsing from that B+ CinemaScore. Now, back out those $36M Thursday previews from Doctor Strange 2‘s first day, and Friday was really $54M for the pic. One rival distribution boss says, “Mother’s Day is actually a great day for moviegoing.” Furthermore, as we previously mentioned, one of the selling points here with Doctor Strange 2 is in mama bear herself, Elizabeth Olsen’s Wanda Maximoff. The trajectory is roughly similar to Avengers: Age of Ultron, which saw a Friday to Saturday decline of 33% and a 3-day of $191.27M. However, that’s already been accounted for, with an estimate around $44M per industry projections (-23%). There’s been concern that Mother’s Day will drag the grosses down today. While domestic will likely come in higher by tomorrow AM, global for Doctor Strange 2at $450M reps the second-highest WW opening for any MPA movie during Covid-19, as well as the best year to date all of this after Spider-Man: No Way Home‘s $600.5M global launch. But Disney is calling stateside at $185M as of this morning, or as Entelligence reports, that translates to 13.5M admissions.Įither way, that’s a great kickoff to summer and the best opening for a Disney movie during the pandemic, and the second-best during the Covid-19 era after Spider-Man: No Way Home‘s $260.1M. Many believe that the sequel’s opening is between $194M-$197M, according to industry estimates. SUNDAY AM UPDATE after late Saturday PM: Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is coming in with a Disney-reported $57.5M Saturday, which is 36% off from the pic’s opening day of $90M. With the exception of a few memorable moments, she doesn't come across as the smoldering sexpot she's supposed to be.'Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness' Review: Benedict Cumberbatch Works His Magic In Sam Raimi's Marvel Of Horror Her story may be a sad one filed with every possible form of self-destruction imaginable, but it doesn't change my opinion of her acting. After only four years of making films, she was already washed-up by 1953. But for Payton, Bad Blonde was supposed to something of a return to glory. For Wright, this was his first film, so I can forgive some of his stiffness. Tony Wright and Barbara Payton, are terribly unconvincing. ![]() The problems I have with Bad Blonde that make it just barely above average relate almost completely to the two leads. Unfortunately, I can't say the same about some of the rest of the acting. The man carries much of the film on his own. And the movie features a wonderful performance from Sid James. The film looks good and the country estate set is a standout. Director Reginald Le Borg keeps things moving at a good pace. In a broad, general sense, Bad Blonde kept me entertained throughout. She bends him to her will and uses him to get what she wants - even if that means committing murder. The movie tells the (somewhat unoriginal) story of young up-and-coming boxer who gets mixed up with his promoter's steamy, blonde wife. I've always been a fan of Hammer's horror output, so it's a treat to get the opportunity to see what the studio was doing pre-1957. It's also the first of the Hammer noirs made in the 1950s I've had a chance to watch. Bad Blonde is a great title for a very average movie. I watched this because of Barbara Payto, I'm trying to watch all the movies she started in. This film came from the Hammer Film Noir Double Feature Collection. ![]()
