Despite making a $110 million USD domestic box office debut, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania has also suffered greatly. The third Ant-Man film has dropped massively, notably the biggest drop in the MCU ever between the opening and second weekend.

According to The Hollywood Repoter, the third sequel dropped 69.7% in North America in the second weekend. While it did stay atop at the domestic box office, even beating the newly released Cocaine Bear. This film now holds the record for the biggest box office drop in MCU history and the biggest of superhero movies that opened over $100 million USD.

The drop saw Ant-Man 3 surpass Black Widow and Thor: Love and Thunder which fell 67.8% and 67.7% respectively. Within the superhero genre, DC Comics’ Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, also fell 69.1%. Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is now in theaters worldwide.
