It feels like a story we have told many time, but a new Marvel movie is released and there is a big surge in the box office and we have a massive hit at the top.
The sequel to Doctor Strange has been a long time coming as the original was released in 2016, but the character has appeared in many Marvel film since then, including quite predominantly in last years Spider-Man: No Way Home for which is a spiritual successor.
The movie makes its UK debut with £19.7 Million, a staggering 82% of the box office this weekend, which is £10 Million more than its 2016 predecessor but it is way shorted than the £31.8 Milion of the last Spider-Man movie.
The road ahead is looking good for the movie, it will beat out the DC movie The Batman from earlier this year, and it has a shot at being the top movie of 2022, altohugh there are a number of high profile movie yet to come including Jurassic World: Dominion in June.
The movie already is the 6th top movie of 2022 on its debut and look set to at least climb into the top 3 by next weekend.
A single week at the top for the Downton Abbey sequel which this weekend falls to number 2 with £1.5 Million, a 49% drop over last weekend.
This gives the movie a total gross of £7.6 Million after 2 weeks of release.
The smash hit video game movie falls to number 2 this weekend after 6 weeks on the box office with £630,391, a 53% drop over last weekend.
The movie now has a UK total of £23.5 Million and is the 5th top movie of 2022.
The action comedy falls to 4 this weekend with £468,402, a 61% drop over last weekend, this gives the movie an £8.6 Million total after 4 weeks of release.
The third in the Fantastic Beasts series can be seen as nothing but a flop for Warner Bros. as the movie falls to 5 this weekend with £401,448, a 67% drop.
The movie has now taken just £19 Million in the UK over 5 weeks of release, it is the 7th top movie of 2022.
In comparison the previous 2 movies 5 weeks into their box office runs were, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them £45 Million and Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald £30.5 Million.
Marvel Studios movie Black Widow stays at the top of the Uk box office this weekend making it three consecutive weeks for the movie.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe origins movie remains at the top of the UK box office for a third straight weekend this week taking £1.4 Million, a slim 22% drop over last weekend.
This pushes the movies total gross over its three weekends to £13.8 Million, for obvious reasons its one of the lowest grossing movies from the Mavel/Disney collaboration but it is one of the top movies of 2021 in the UK at number 3 which is good and where you would expect it to be.
To remain at the top of the chart next weekend is a big ask with Disney releasing Jungle Cruise with Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt and Warner releasing The Suicide Squad from director James Gunn.
Destined to always be the runner up to Black Widow the toon and real life hybrid takes £1.3 Million over the weekend which is actually a 2% increase over last weekend, this can be contributed to the UK school summer holidays.
This gives the movie a 2 weekend total gross of £3.6 Million, comparing to the original Space Jam movie and taking the pandemic into consideration this is still low.
A dissipating debut last weekend was a bit misleading for the toon sequel as it moved up to number 4 this weekend with £876,123, a 20% increase over last weekend, again contribute this to the school summer holidays.
This gives the movie a 2 weekend gross of £2.05 Million.
Director M. Night Shyamalan brings us his latest mystery movie with a twist and unlike its debut at the top in America it has to contend with a new entry at number 4.
This is the highest new entry of the weekend, one which is really geared towards a teen to younger audience, but the movie takes £866,860 on its debut.
Falling to number 5 this weekend is the fifth movie in The Purge franchise which takes £598,803, a 17% drop, for a 2 weekend total of £1.8 Million.
