Marvel Celebrates Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania Being Number One in the World Again Despite Big Box Office Drop
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania just won its second weekend at the box office, but the sequel also suffered a record-breaking box office drop for a Marvel movie. The film had the biggest opening of the Ant-Man trilogy last week last weekend, earning $104 million in its first three days at the box office. However, the movie plummeted 70% during its second weekend. Previously, Black Widow had the MCU's biggest box office drop at $67.8%, but it's worth noting that the 2021 film was also simultaneously released on Disney+ Premier Access. Despite Quantumania's huge box office drop, Marvel is still celebrating the movie being number one in the world for the second week in a row.
"Marvel Studios' Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania is the #1 movie in the world, 2 weeks in a row. Experience it now playing in 3D, only in theaters. Get tickets now: Link in Bio," Marvel's Instagram account shared with a little teaser for the film. You can check it out below:
What Is Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania's Rotten
Tomatoes Score?
It's not a huge surprise Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is losing viewers considering it has the second-lowest critics score of any Marvel Cinematic Universe film after Eternals. The film currently has a "rotten" critics score on Rotten Tomatoes with a 48%, but its audience score is a much better 83%. ComicBook.com's Jenna Anderson gave the movie a 4 out of 5 and called it "the MCU's wackiest work of pop art yet." The movie may have broken a negative record this weekend but it was the fifth MCU movie in a row to open with $100 million+. The four previous films do so were Spider-Man: No Way Home, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Thor: Love and Thunder, and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.
