the film collapses at the box office, a bad word-of-gold

In cinemas since February 15, Ant-Man and the Wasp Quantumania has not really had good press. With 48% average on Rotten Tomatoes, the first film of Phase 5 of the MCU does not start under the best auspices. If in the United States, the opinion of spectators is more lenient with a score of 83%, in France for example, it is also a cold shower. With a score of 2.6/5, we can’t say that Scott Lang’s latest adventures have won over a lot of people. The reality is closer to the French opinion, since with 32.2 million dollars collected at the domestic box office (American therefore), Ant-Man and the Wasp Quantumania realizes a drop of nearly 70% compared to its first week. -end of operation. This is quite simply the largest drop in attendance ever recorded by an MCU film during its second weekend. A record held until now by Black Widow which had experienced a drop of 67.8%, impacted by the pandemic at that time and the fact that the film was also released simultaneously on Disney +.

It is therefore rather word of mouth that is bad for Ant-Man 3, often compared to bad Star Wars, and also judged for having deceived viewers with a radically serious tone in the trailers while the humor is quite present, with ridiculous characters like MODOCK, Mr Broccoli and the Blob who tries at all costs to have holes like a human being. To find such disappointment and negative feedback on the MCU, we must not go back very far, since Thor Love and Thunder had also been the victim of bad feedback from spectators, with a drop in attendance of 67.7%. after his first weekend. We can therefore see a fed up on the part of the public, who want to reconnect with the success of the era of the Infinity Stones with the MCU, which is why Kevin Feige announced a change of strategy for the MCU , with more time to refine the special effects and fewer series on Disney+, in order to avoid overdose. Because yes, we must also prepare for the arrival of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, scheduled for May 3, 2023.
