Hoewel Doctor Strange een vreemd (pun indeed) karakter is voor veel niet comic fans, is de gelijknamige film een groot succes. Want dit weekeinde ging deze door de $103 miljoen Dollar grens heen en dit is dus een groot succes te noemen en dat we nog lang niet van de Marvel superhelden films zullen afzijn.

Walt Disney Pictures and Marvel Studios' Doctor Strange added $43 million domestically in first place this weekend and another $60.2 million internationally for a global weekend of $103.2 million. That means the film has now earned $153 million in North America after 10 days and $339.6 million overseas. Doctor Strange has earned $492.6 million worldwide, which means the film has already passed the lifetime totals of The Incredible Hulk ($263M), Captain America: The First Avenger ($371M) and Thor ($449M) and is fast approaching Ant-Man ($520M). Internationally, Doctor Strange has passed up The Incredible Hulk ($129M), Captain America: The First Avenger ($194M), Iron Man ($266M), Thor ($268M), Iron Man 2 ($310M) and Ant-Man ($339M).
