Marvel’s Ant-Man and the Wasp continued the studio’s streak of No. 1 debuts at the box office by taking the top spot with an estimated $76 million, a solid increase over its predecessor, 2015’s Ant-Man.
The 20th movie in the MCU still ranks among the lower echelon of the MCU franchise, the 16th highest debut out of 20 movies, while Ant-Man ranks as the 19th highest debut with $57.2 million, just ahead of the lowest debut of $55.4 million set by The Incredible Hulk in 2008. While the Ant-Man and the Wasp opening weekend did manage to exceed the debut of its predecessor, the increase wasn’t quite as big as other second movies within the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
