“Doctor Strange” dominates BO

“Doctor Strange” continues to dominate the box office after earning $14.9 million on Friday en route to $45 million in its second week.

The film, from Marvel and Disney, is only challenged by Fox's “Trolls” which earned $12.2 million.

After finishing in the top two slots last weekend as well, the two films greet newcomer “Arrival”, which is posting numbers that exceed expectations. The Paramount film is looking at a $24 million opening weekend at 2,317 locations.

“Arrival” has received strong critical support with a 93% “fresh” rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The film, which centres on a dozen mysterious alien ships touching down on Earth, is directed by Denis Villeneuve and stars Amy Adams, Jeremy Renner, Forest Whitaker, Michael Stuhlbarg and Tzi Ma.
