WEEKEND BOX OFFICE:  Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness easily charmed the box office with an extimated 185MM (if you believe the House of Mouse) but maybe 194-197MM (if you belive other gurus).  It's the best opening for a Disney movie during the pandemic, and the second-best during the Covid-19 era after Spider-Man: No Way Home.  And at Rotten Tomatoes, the audience's 87 percent beats the critics' 75 percent, which must be some relief to a studio that wants to anchor the MCU to Cumberbatch in the way it used to be tethered to RDJr.  The Bad Guys places with10MM on a 40 percent drop.  Sonic the Hedgehog 2 shows with 6.2MM.
