Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania Is Set To Complete The Theatrical Run With $500 Million
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania has grossed $470 million worldwide. The film is expected to gross less than $500 million worldwide by the end of its theatrical run, making it the trilogy’s lowest-grossing film. Read our review.
The film’s budget is $200 million, which is a huge sum. The studio projected the film to make $1 billion at the worldwide box office as the first installment of the MCU’s Phase 5, but it failed due to a weak story, screenplay, and pacing. Ant-Man (2015) grossed $519.3 million, and the sequel Ant-Man and the Wasp (2015) grossed $622.7 million.
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania Box-Office Drop And Negative Reports Are Surprising
In an interview with The Daily Beast, writer Jeff Loveness revealed that he was “surprised” by the film’s negative reports. Loveness said, “To be honest, those reviews took me by surprise.” He added, “I was in a pretty low spot… Those were not good reviews, and I was like, ‘What the… ?'”.
He continued: “I’m really proud of what I wrote for Jonathan [Majors] and Michelle Pfeiffer (Janet Pym). I thought that was good stuff, you know? And so I was just despondent, and I was really sad about it.”
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is directed by Peyton Reed from a screenplay by Jeff Loveness. The film stars Paul Rudd as Scott Lang and Evangeline Lilly as Hope van Dyne, alongside Jonathan Majors, Kathryn Newton, David Dastmalchian, Katy O’Brian, William Jackson Harper, Bill Murray, Michelle Pfeiffer, Corey Stoll, and Michael Douglas.
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania was released in theaters on February 17, 2023, and will be released on Disney+ in May 2023.
