Box Office Results: Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania Dominates
As expected, dominated the domestic box office in its opening weekend, collecting $118M through its first four days of release ($104 million 3-day) — the fourth-best President’s Day weekend opening ever, per Deadline. That’s considerably better than the original ($57M) and ($76M), but a far cry from ($187M). That said, Ant-Man was never in the upper tier of Marvel fare.
Internationally, the threequel pulled in $121.3M to bring its worldwide tally to $225.3M. The trade notes these numbers are lower than projections, which is probably the result of meager 47% critical score on Rotten Tomatoes. With a B CinemaScore, it’ll be interesting to see if audiences return to Quantumania in the weeks ahead.
Elsewhere, James Cameron’s ($2.243 billion) topped Cameron’s ($2.242 billion) to become the third highest-grossing film of all time worldwide. Domestically, passed ($653.4M) to become the ninth-highest movie ever where it’ll probably sit until a re-release gives it enough dough to pass domestic cume ($672.1M).
