Ant-Man: Quantumania"s Box Office Breaks An Unwanted MCU Sequel Record

:0:0

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania kicks off Phase 5 of the MCU on a concerning note, claiming an unwanted box office record from its predecessor. While the movie introduces the Marvel Cinematic Universe's next big bad, Kang the Conqueror (another potential problem given Jonathan Majors' recent troubles in the headlines), its reviews earned it the MCU's second "Rotten" score in Rotten Tomatoes, and it failed to break out at the box office, becoming one of the MCU's biggest flops.
The first Ant-Man movie was a welcome change of pace for the Marvel Cinematic Universe after Avengers: Age of Ultron, providing fresh look at a smaller side of the MCU. While it didn't blow up at the box office like some other MCU movies released around the same time, particularly the Iron Man and Avengers movies, its $180 million domestic and $519 million worldwide box office hauls were seen as a big success, especially since it introduced a lesser known Marvel character. Ant-Man and the Wasp improved on Ant-Man's box office, but Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania didn't continue the trend, despite earning an Ant-Man high $106.1 million opening weekend.
