Ant-Man 3 surpasses 50 million in China and 41 million US dollars in global box office

According to Deadline's early prediction, Ant-Man 3 will open in the U.S. on Thursday with a box office of between $17 million and $18 million. Official data will be released later on February 17, U.S. time.

Ant-Man 3's opening box office is similar to that of 2017's Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, which opened with $17 million on Thursday. Ant-Man 3 was released in 43 markets around the world on Wednesday and Thursday, with an overseas box office of $23 million. So far, Ant-Man 3 has grossed about $41 million worldwide.

Compared with other Marvel movies, Ant-Man 3's domestic debut performance in the United States is not good enough. Doctor Strange 2 took in $36 million, Thor 4 took in $29 million, and Black Panther 2 took in $28 million.

However, it is predicted that with the upcoming four-day holiday weekend in the United States, "Ant-Man 3" is expected to reach $110 million in the domestic box office and $280 million worldwide.

Although the word of mouth for Ant-Man 3 is not good, foreign media Deadline believes that the film's rating may not be so important because fans are looking forward to seeing the villain Kang the Conqueror played by Jonathan Majors. Kang played by Majors has been well received. He is the first major new villain in the Marvel Universe since Thanos.

In addition, according to data from Maoyan Professional Edition, the movie "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantum of Surge" grossed over 50 million in two days after its release.
