Doctor Strangehas finally arrived in theaters and it seems like Marvel once again has a massive hit on their hands. The movie is already raking it in at the box office and has been praised for itsstunning visualsand inventive CGI. It turns out those visuals, and everything about the movie in this case, may have been a little too convincing, becauseJaden Smiththought they were real.
The fact thatJaden Smithsaid something weird on hisTwitteraccount shouldn’t be all that surprising, but he really outdid himself this time. Apparently,Jaden Smithdecided to see a Thursday night screening ofDoctor Strangeand was pretty taken back by it. So much so that he wants to dedicate the rest of his life to the teachings of the mystic arts, which is most definitely not a real thing. Here is what he had to say.
“Just Watched Doctor Strange, Im Completely Blown Away, And I’m Going To Dedicate The Rest Of My Life To Those Practices. Thank You”
For those who maybe haven’t seen the movie yet or aren’t overly familiar withDoctor Strange, the movie centers on aneurosurgeonnamed Stephen Strange who renders his hands useless after causing irreparable nerve damage in a tragic car accident. He then spends every dollar of his fortune looking for a cure, which leads him to a place called Kamar-Taj where he learns the ways of sorcery from The Ancient One, a centuries older master of the mystic arts. So in essence,Jaden Smithis going to dedicate his life to becoming a magician.Doctor Strangeco-writerC. Robert Cargilltook to his Twitter account after seeingJaden Smith’s tweet. He had a pretty great response.
“Guys, I don’t think you quite understand the gravity of that tweet. Jaden Smith is going to try to find Kamar Taj!”
Box office tracking hasDoctor Strangelooking at a very solid opening weekend in the U.S., probably in the $70 million range. Given the massive opening overseas this weekend and the incredibly positive word of mouth so far, it is very possible that theScott Derricksondirected spectacle (which is apparently very believable for some) will surpass that number. That is good for Marvel Studios, because they havebig plansfor the character, as he will be heavily featured in the upcomingAvengers: Infinity Warand it is starting to look likeDoctor Strange 2may already be in the cards.
