It’s a good thing “Ant Man and the WASP: Quantumania” made a lot of money in its first weekend. In its sophomore outing, the ant and the bee were squashed like bugs.
“Quantumania” fell 70% in week 2, making $32.2 million. If this were an art house film, the execs would be having Champagne parties. But this is a Marvel movie. The US take — $167 mil — is underwhelming to say the least. That’s what an Avengers movie used to bring in on its first day!
Abroad, “Ant Man 3” (easier to type) has banked almost $200 million. So that’s good news. But if the movie drops proportionately this week, a squirt of Raid won’t be needed.
What’s the problem? Maybe just recycling old ideas over and over has finally worn out the Marvel audience. Where’s Tony Stark when you need him?
