LOS ANGELES (Variety.com) - “Doctor Strange” is doing its part to heal what has been a recent box office slump by earning $32.6 million on Friday at 3,882 locations, raising its estimated opening weekend total to about $85 million. After earning $12.3 million on Friday at 4,060 locations, “Trolls” is also adding a boost, toying with an opening of about $44 million. Both films are leading Mel Gibson’s “Hacksaw Ridge” which shot to $5.2 million on Friday at 2,886 theaters and should end up with about $14 million by the weekend’s end. “Doctor Strange,” from Marvel and Disney, follows neurosurgeon Stephen Strange who injures his hands in a car accident, and in the process of healing, gains mystical powers. Mike Mitchell and Walt Dohrn directed the film based on a script by Jonathan Aibel, Glenn Berger and Erica Rivinoja.
