BOX OFFICE FORECAST

The summer starts at the movie theaters this weekend.

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness arrives at 4400 theaters. This Marvel Comics sequel rates an 80 at Rotten Tomatoes. Audience tracking predicts a weekend debut of $180 million.

Revenue could climb higher if Doctor Strange attracts more than just the Marvel faithful. The casting of Elizabeth Olsen’s Wanda Maximoff was not by mistake. There’s hope a “younger female demo” shows to theaters for Doctor Strange.

Preview screenings start Thursday afternoon. (Deadline)
