Dr. Strange remains at the top of the North American box office

(Los Angeles) The D^r Strange tripped over the cape and his Multiverse of Madnessafter a thunderous start, collected only 61 million dollars, but these receipts allow him to remain largely at the head of the North American box office, according to provisional figures published Sunday by the specialized firm Exhibitor Relations.

The highly anticipated neurosurgeon-turned-sorcerer sequel, which sees Marvel hero Benedict Cumberbatch explore parallel worlds, grossed $187 million in its first three days in theaters last week.

Internationally, the film has grossed $396 million since its release.

Far behind, we find in second place the animated film The Bad Guysoutlaw animals trying to get nice, with just $6.9 million Friday-Sunday.

Like last week, the blue hedgehog of sonic 2 completes the podium in third place with $4.6 million.

New on display, Firestartera half-crime, half-fantasy film based on a novel by genre master Stephan King, got off to a disappointing start with a fourth-place finish and just $3.8 million in revenue.

Zac Efron and Sydney Lemmon play the parents of Ryan Kiera Armstrong, an 11-year-old girl with extraordinary pyrokinesis abilities who is being hunted down by a mysterious government agency that would like to use her fire-triggering abilities to create a weapon of mass destruction.

The film was slammed by critics and garnered just 12% positive reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, which aggregates ratings from different sources.

It is quite the opposite for Everything Everywhere All at Once. With 96% of favorable opinions, this feature film with Michelle Yeoh also traveling to the absurd in the universe of parallel worlds, completes the top 5 with 3.3 million dollars in revenue for its 8^and week in dark rooms.
