We are just halfway through the year yet and two of the biggest movies of the year have already been released. Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, which is the 28th movie in the Marvel franchise, opened to a big box office release on May 6th. And on April 8th, the Daniels newest film Everything Everywhere All at Once had its wide release and has gone on to become the highest-grossing A24 film.
The Dr. Strange film was a blast to watch in 3D and was a direct follow-up to Spider-Man: No Way Home and also played a great follow-up to Wandavision. And Everything Everywhere All at Once is about, well, a woman just trying to get her taxes done but gets called upon to save the universe(s). If you haven’t seen either, you still have time to catch them in the theater.
