Critics may have been tepid on “Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania,” the latest film in the franchise, but theater goers voted with their pocketbooks and have made the film #1 with a worldwide box office total of $357,300,000.
Domestic
In the U.S., the film scored $106,109,650 in its opening weekend, which falls on Presidents’ Day weekend.
It is the best opening for the “Ant-Man” franchise, but the lowest for recent Marvel releases like “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” ($180 million), “Thor: Love and Thunder” ($143 million), and “Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness” ($185 million).
The domestic total is also the third best President’s Day opening weekend box office ever.
IMAX accounted for $12.2 million of the weekend box office, which is twice what “Ant-Man and The Wasp” brougt in.

In IMAX, “Quantumania” grossed $24M globally, which is twice what the first two “Ant-Man” movies grossed combined.
Other Box Office Hits
Disney also took the #2 space on the U.S. box office with “Avatar: The Way of Water,” which took in $7,499,000 in its 10th week in theaters.
That brings the total U.S. gross to $658,456,991, and worldwide gross to $2.243 billion.
This total makes it the third highest grossing movie ever worldwide, bumping Cameron’s “Titanic” (which is currently back in theaters for its anniversary) to fourth place.
