Disney and Marvel Studios' new superhero flick "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness" is the big hit that the MCU needed after a string of less impressive installments in the cinematic universe like "The Eternals" and "Shang-Chi". Although no records were broken, it's an impressive boost to an otherwise unimpressive weekend.
Read more about the weekend box-office after the jump.
