If the film does end up getting those numbers, it will be part of the top 10 highest domestic openings in the MCU which is currently topped by Avengers: Endgame's $375 million and followed by the recent Spider-Man: No Way Home with $260 million.
In addition, the upcoming sequel is also predicted to have a domestic box office run of between $400 and $535 million. The first Doctor Strange film had an opening weekend of $85 million.
