That isn’t a lot when you realize the first “Ant-Man” opened with less than the first “Thor” and “Captain America” movies, but also after huge releases like “Avengers: Age of Ultron,” “Avengers: Infinity War” and “Black Panther.” The previous two movies opened in July with “Ant-Man” in 2015 opening with $57.2 million, and its sequel, “Ant-Man and the Wasp” opened three years later with $75.8 million. The previous Ant-Man movies didn’t do nearly as well as other solo MCU movies from pre-pandemic, maybe because the character wasn’t as popular as Iron Man, Captain America and Thor, but this time around, “Quantumania” is setting up Phase 5, which will lead up to “Avengers: The Kang Dynasty” in three years.

The big movie this weekend, opening in over 4,300 theaters, is Marvel Studios’ “ Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,” starring Paul Rudd, Evangeline Lilly, Kathryn Newton, Michelle Pfeiffer, Michael Douglas, Bill Murray and Jonathan Majors as the MCU’s latest big bad, Kang the Conqueror.

Read on for Gold Derby’s box office preview. It’s hard to believe, but this weekend will be the fourth four-day weekend in the past two months as the nation celebrates Presidents Day, and schools and government workers get another Monday off.
