Actually many were expecting it to open from $50M-$65M for it's international opening, so this was in some ways a breakout. I'm surprised it out opened Thor 2 internationally.

Tracking had it at 55-60m OS DEBUT with optimists saying 70m. So yeah it did far better than expectations.

And Thor 2 was a sequel for an established character.

I think it will have much better legs than Thor 2 in many markets such as France because it can please new audiences, beyond Marvel ones.

[Quigley]

Perfect opening!!! Don't forget that the percentage comps are wrt local currencies. so if it maintains this lead compared to Ant-Man and GotG, it can make it to $460-500M.

Not to mention it was coming off IM3 which came off The Avengers, so if that had been a decent movie it could've done so much better.

 

Those are awesome numbers for Strange though, and I'm eager to see how it'll do in China since Ant-man made US$105m, so I'm sure this can at least match that, if not do better.

Disney is now guaranteed to reach $4B in OS gross, probs even before Moana is released. It has already surpassed its previous record (2015) of $3.57B, which is (and now was) the third biggest a studio has ever achieved. It will also push Fox's 2014 total of $3.73B out of the way by next weekend. The overseas crown is currently held by Universal's 2015 gross of $4.44B, but unless Moana and Rogue One tank big size, then Disney will be holding the crown by late December. Projection for final total: $4.7-4.8B. The domestic all-time crown is also a foregone conclusion (current holder: Universal $2.44B, Disney's current 2016 gross: $2.15B -> projection for final total: $3.0-3.1B). What a year!

Let's see how it performs in China. If HK was any indication, then it looks to be pretty big. 

[keysersoze123]

comparisons are made against local currencies. How the ER against when Ant Man relesed? Looking at numbers that efialates posted above its NOT doing better than Thor 2 in $ value in most markets.

 

But it should be enough for 400m OS.

Cumberbatch is big in China. Strange will do $80M, at least, and max out at $120M. Maybe even more.
