Every Disney Movie Of 2023 So Far, Ranked By Box Office

Ant-Man (Paul Rudd) has never been the premier superhero of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but even so, he, along with the Wasp (Evangeline Lilly) in the last two outings, got his own trilogy. That’s where it will most likely stay, though, as «Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,» the third outing in the series, lost a lot of money at the box office. Yes, despite that big $215 million domestic haul, it seems that the movie needed $600 million worldwide to break even, and it fell far short of that.

The story had a lot to do with that. After being pulled into the Quantum Realm, a place with fascinating creatures and people, Scott Lang and Hope van Dyne team up with her parents, Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) and Janet van Dyne (Michelle Pfeiffer), and Scott’s daughter, Cassie (Kathryn Newton), to bring down Kang (Jonathan Majors), the leader of the realm. The movie has a lot going on, but despite all the bombast, it didn’t amount to much. Instead, the film underwhelmed viewers, and critics rejected it. That led to the box office collapse.

«Quantumania» was number one in its first week of release, making $106 million domestically. In fact, it was the best opening of the «Ant-Man» series. But the celebration didn’t last. The film’s box office dropped precipitously after that, making it the rare Marvel movie to gross less than $500 million at the worldwide box office.
