Wkd Box Office - 7•6-8•18 - Ant-Man gains a partner. Still opens to sub Solo numbers.

Ant-Man is also Marvel's least recognized character to get a solo film. Still, this will outgross Incredible Hulk.

It will probably depend if it any of that follows through to Doc Strange 2. If it's off doing its own thing like Ant-Man and the Wasp seems to be doing, the bump might not be all that large.
Ugh, why is Chinese box office reporting so constantly riddled with errors? (this is rhetorical, I do actually know why)
But yeah, taking another look at more accurate numbers, it is posting some insane figures.
Not surprised that Ant man had an OK opening weekend. The only reason me and most people I know that went to see it was mainly to see how it connects to Infinity War. Both Ant Man movies are some of the weakest Marvel movies. They feel like a made for TV pilot with a 100+ Million Budget.
Why are we mentioning KK in a thread not involving her?
Is she the new Avatar of BO threads?

The difference being that Ant-Man cost about 55% of Solo, and will make a couple hundred million more worldwide. Ant-Man and the Wasp isn't really suffering. B-tier Marvel makes cash because those films come with B-tier price tags. Solo was a $300M film. Ditto with Justice League.
I would not be surprised if she became the scapegoat for any Disney movie.
I think we still get Ant-Man 3, they probably just shove in some Marvel cameos like Spidey or Strange or something
This is entirely irrelevant to the point I was making about WHY it is performing the way it is.
Exactly.
This is the reason why "bu-bu-bu-but this is worse than Solo..." arguments fall apart.
People that want to make those comparisons probably don't care enough to look into it that much.
I think people assumed Antman/Wasp would get that bump from both Wars. It did but I think it would have helped had it come out in August. I'm shocked Disney didn't do that here.
Yep. Solo costing over 300 mil and Ant Man costing 160m is why around 85m opening for Solo is a disaster and around 75m for Ant Man is fine.
Like many I think, I saw the first Ant Man because of the connected MCU, not because I was interested in the character. People thought the the airport fight in CW would give him a boost, but I didn't understand why.
I will see the sequel for the same reason I saw the first one.

I'm seeing it this Tuesday. But I also feel coming off of IW people probably don't truly feel the need to watch this.
Timing most likely. Granted the timing between Avengers and Antman is the same as last time with a Jurassic in between! I think the ending of IW took the sails off of things though plus Incredibles 2
I can't tell who is genuinely trying to portray an ant man sequel doing better than the original as a failure and who is just fucking around.

They counterbalanced that by giving the other white male lead a mustache.
MI6 fell off when they stop using the first song for the trailers, that was hype as fuck

Saturday increases were poor across the board. Friday still had some July 4th vacation padding.
Why not the writers? The script was all over the place. The plot left a lot to be desired, and while the premise was great, the journey was a mess.
No joke, that's the reason why I haven't watched any other trailers. That first one was too good and I didn't want to ruin it.
Oh, that's pretty understandable then. Guess they should've launched this in August.
Spidey or Dr. Strange with Taskmaster as main villain could do the trick.
