From Doctor Strange to Trolls to Denis Villeneuve’s new cerebral sci-fi thriller Arrival, movies playing at the North American box office enjoyed a rare collective boost over the weekend as consumers flocked to the cinema seemingly seeking escapism following the conclusion of the 2016 presidential election and Donald Trump’s surprise victory.
Marvel and Disney’s Doctor Strange easily stayed at No. 1 in its sophomore outing, falling a mere 49 percent to $44 million. That’s the lowest second-weekend decline among the last 10 Marvel Cinematic Universe titles, and the third-lowest among all MCU movies behind Iron Man and Thor.
