6 or 7 weeks is effectively forever in modern box office terms. Even movies with pretty solid legs will have done over 90% of their business by then. Suicide Squad may have been in theaters for 13 weeks, but about 95% of their domestic box office was done in the first 6 weeks.

Suicide Squad had a really strong second month, because it was incredibly lucky to have absolutely no commpetition and there was nothing else to see at the cinema. If you look at its first month, it had exactly the same legs as X-men apocalypse.
Civil War made 93% of its final BO in its first 4 weeks. -

Yeah, even movies in the genre that had really good legs have done the vast majority of their business before the seventh week shows up. TDK and Avengers both made slightly above 92% of their money in the first six weeks. (And that's even with TDK getting an Oscar season re-release.)
Whatever problems Dr. Strange may have in making enough money, it won't be the competition from movies that show up a month and a half after it gets released. By that point, it will have already made almost every dime that it's going to make. -

I figured Ant-Man would have been the one to fail, or GotG, after those two became hits, I'm starting to think Marvel just has too good a handle on their properties to produce sh!t.
