This was one of those weekends at the box office where everything seemed pre-determined on some level. "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness" was absolutely going to come out on top following its gigantic opening the previous weekend. "Firestarter" never stood a chance and, on that level, it perhaps seemed unexciting as there wasn't going to be any drama in terms of how things shook out. However, reading between the lines, we might be starting to see some cracks in Marvel's armor and that is worth looking at.
