It wasn't 83%. According to Forbes it was 67%
'The Multiverse of Madness' isn't legging like an 'Avengers' movie, but it's doing very well for a 'Doctor Strange' sequel.

And that's great news for Top Gun Maverick but foreign money is just as valuable and it is not a lock to pass Dr. Strange 2 worldwide.
'Everything, Everywhere' is the third-biggest Covid-era original while 'Doctor Strange 2' passed 'Battle at Lake Changjin' and 'Top Gun 2' passed 'Battle at Lake Changjin 2'

"With (rough estimate) $625-$635 million worldwide thus far, it has passed the global gross ($611 million) of China’s
The Battle at Lake Changjin 2 to become this year’s second-biggest global earner behind
The Batman ($760 million with just $20 million from China) and
Doctor Strange 2 ($912 million with just $0 million from China). It will pass
The Batman in over/under a week to rank second worldwide for 2022. Even if it doesn’t pass the $900 million-plus cume of the MCU sequel, A) it’s still a monster hit considering pre-release expectations and B) it’s going to easily trounce
Doctor Strange 2 in domestic earnings.
Not to be outdone, the Sam Raimi-directed Marvel movie has passed the $911 million global gross of China’s
The Battle at Lake Changjin from late 2021. That makes it the second biggest Covid-era grosser behind Marvel and Sony’s
Spider-Man: No Way Home ($1.891 billion including $0.00 from China). . . "
No matter how you slice it Dr. Strange 2 is a top flight movie financially speaking.
