The new Marvel Studios movie Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness conquers the audience and dominates the Italian box office with a turnover of almost 9 million euros in six days of programming (more than 2 million euros on the first day alone). All in all, we are in the fourth best result of the last two years, with 500 million worldwide, 300 in international markets and 200 in US markets, and a race is far from over.
In Italian cinemas from May 4, the feature film directed by Sam Raimi and produced by Kevin Feige has positioned itself in our market as the best opening of 2022 and the second best opening of May of all time.
The result of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness in one day of programming and now in less than a week is a testament to how much Italian audiences value the cinema experience and how strong the connection to the Marvel Cinematic Universe is. We’re excited to continue supporting theaters with highly anticipated new titles arriving in the coming summer months, such as the Disney and Pixar adventure Lightyear – The True Story of Buzz and the Marvel Studios movie directed by Taika Waititi Thor: Love and Thunder . Following the recent success of the Marvel Multiverse Experience, an immersive journey inspired by the worlds of Doctor Strange, Disney Italia is already working on new ideas and initiatives to promote and enhance the following cinematic releases in our country: We Can’t waiting to share them with the public and with the fans.
