Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania kicks off Phase 5 of the MCU on a concerning note, claiming an unwanted box office record from its predecessor.
While the movie introduces the Marvel Cinematic Universe's next big bad, Kang the Conqueror, its reviews earned it the MCU's second "Rotten" score in Rotten Tomatoes, and it failed to break out at the box office, becoming one of the MCU's biggest flops.
While it didn't blow up at the box office like some other MCU movies released around the same time, its US$180 million domestic and US$519 million worldwide box office hauls were seen as a big success, especially since it introduced a lesser known Marvel character.
Ant-Man and the Wasp improved on Ant-Man's box office, but Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania didn't continue the trend, despite earning an Ant-Man high US$106.1 million opening weekend.
