Sam Raimi’s ‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness’ wasn’t a bad film nor was a homerun. The movie had very polarizing reviews. A segment believed that the film was too experimental and lacked any core. While the other half believed that the movie was a stepping stone for MCU and found its storyline refreshing & unique. The film heavily relied on the strong shoulders of Benedict Cumberbatch and Elizabeth Olsen. And the duo did deliver great performances on screen. The reviews of the movie might be polarizing or mixed but the Box Office numbers weren’t. In the first week the Benedict & Elizabeth starrer Marvel movie had an extraordinary run at the box office. According to sources the movie made more than 950 Million dollars globally.

5. Black Widow

‘Thor: Love and Thunder’ isn’t the worst movie on the list but it’s mediocrity even after great marketing and hype makes it the last name on our list. Taika Waititi’s directed ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’ was one of the most talked about and hyped projects of 2022. All thanks to Chris Hemsworth and Thor’s mass appeal, the film had unmatched hype and buzz. However, the highly anticipated movie failed to please both the critics and the audiences. Despite poor reviews and negative word-of-mouth the film managed to make more than 750 Million dollars at the box office.
