Box Office: New “Ant Man” Can’t, Man: Marvel Movie Opens with $104 Mil But This May Be Its One Big Weekend

Share

The weekend’s big office bonanza is Marvel’s “Ant Man and the WASP: Quantumania.”

Rejected soundly by critics, “Ant Man 3” made $104 million from Thursday through Sunday. Tomorrow is a holiday so there will be a four day weekend announcement, too.

But over the weekend, from Friday through today, “Quantumania” took quantum leaps downward. Each day marked a 27% decrease. Word of mouth cannot be so great, and return visits not as plentiful as for past Marvel blockbusters. This could be the one and only “Ant Man” weekend. Enjoy it while you can!
