BOX OFFICE: New ROGUE ONE Opening Weekend Estimates; DOCTOR STRANGE Passes THOR: THE DARK WORLD Globally

Along with the first reviews for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (you can check out mine HERE), we have some updated box office estimates courtesy of Variety.

Our last report indicated that the Gareth Edwards-directed movie could take in between $280 and $350 million worldwide over the course of its first weekend in theaters, but these new numbers are a tad more conservative, placing the prequel in and around the $120-150 million domestic/$250-300 global mark - which of course is still very impressive, if not anything close to The Force Awakens' massive haul.

In addition, Doctor Strange has now passed Thor: The Dark World to become Marvel's seventh highest-grossing movie to date. We recently reported that the Scott Derrickson-helmed adventure had officially become the studio's most profitable character launch, but now that it's taken in a total of $647 million after less than 2 months on release, The Sorcerer Supreme's big-screen debut has the potential to break even more records.

“It has a wonderful cast, and we’re doing it right here in New York, which means a lot to me,” Weaver said. “Basically the four heroes come up against this really nice woman, who I’m playing,” she joked. “It’s been a blast and I really love my character. I love the shows, too, which I wasn’t familiar with before doing this. A real love letter to New York. To me they’re not superheroes; they’re people with a gift. It’s just a different scale, and I’m really enjoying the scale of it. The apocalyptic thing is a little harder for me to understand.”
