‘Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania’ is the third film from our beloved Scott Lang, played by the great Paul Rudd with Evangeline Lilly as Hope van Dyne, alongside Jonathan Majors, Kathryn Newton, Michelle Pfeiffer and Michael Douglas.
The film directed by Peyton Reed had a rather mixed reception, not to say “disappointing”. And it is that, although it aroused great expectations before its premiere, after its first weekend, all expectations are gone.
The movie had B- a CinemaScore, 48 points on Metacritic and one 47% by critics on Rotten Tomatoeswhich clearly tells us that It didn’t have very good reviews.. On the public side, there was no WOM (Word of Mouth) either, since after the first weekend of release, Ant-Man 3 Box Office Dropped Over 60%which has triggered all the alarms and debates on social networks.
Was Quantumania a flop or a box office success?
the reed movie quickly drops to 61% added to extremely low WOM, compared to other MCU releases.
Currently, the band has collected a total of $419.5 million worldwide. This number is divided into $186.80 million in the United States and in $232.75 million internationally.
By market, Quantumania succeeded in raising (until March 5):

Marvel Studios needs to think about a new strategy
Obviously, That’s not to say the film is a complete failure, but it’s not a success either.and this is already known in the offices of Marvel Studios.
Much has been said in recent days about the “new ideas” or “new changes” that Kevin Feige and the rest of Marvel Studios executives are apparently thinking about. However, uncertainty is beginning to reign among the brand’s most loyal followers, but also among the general public, which is usually the majority that fills the corridors.
It is clear that the study needs a twist, and not because more disappointments are coming, but to return to the path of what phases 1 to 3 were, which we now miss very much after the taste bittersweet that Phase 4 of the MCU left behind. .
