Every single Marvel Cinematic Universe entry has debuted at number one at the box office. Further, only three titles haven’t held the spot for at least two weeks (one of those returned to number one in its fourth weekend and stayed there for a record three more weeks). As such, there is no way that Doctor Strange doesn’t end up at number one. Of course, considering its competition, that seems like a foregone conclusion even without historical data. Trolls and its chipper style should easily fall in line in the second position, but Mel Gibson’s “return to grace” Hacksaw Ridge is the weekend’s big question mark. If it’s a box office hit, it will placate his fans and push the film into Oscar consideration. If it’s a bomb, there’s little hope for Gibson or his Oscar potential.

Wesley Lovell (WL): Even as someone who’s enjoyed the Marvel Cinematic Universe, these are starting to feel like homework rather than entertainment. That said, it has some great actors in it, so it could be worth catching. |

Wesley Lovell (WL): Mel Gibson’s films are full of ego and I have yet to see one that I haven’t detested to its core. Considering the religious overtones of this film, the cast isn’t likely to improve my interest. |

Wesley Lovell (WL): I’ll admit that Anna Kendrick and Justin Timberlake are making this seem like a pleasant diversion, but make no mistake, it still looks like it could be dreadful. |

Wesley Lovell (WL): The worst pre-predictive title I’ve ever seen. The trailer seems to solidify the idea that this is, indeed, a trash fire. |
