ANT-MAN AND THE WASP Helps Push The Marvel Cinematic Universe Past $17 Billion Worldwide

Ant-Man and The Wasp may have had a rather modest opening weekend compared to other Phase 3 releases but it's still done well enough to help the Marvel Cinematic Universe to reach another benchmark...

It doesn't appear as if the Ant-Man franchise will ever be a huge earner for Marvel Studios but the first movie performed well and the sequel opened bigger than its predecessor which is a rare feat for second instalments. While Ant-Man and The Wasp had a modest opening weekend, it still performed more than well enough to push the Marvel Cinematic Universe to another box office benchmark!

While Ant-Man and The Wasp still
needs to open in a huge number of international markets, it's pushed the MCU past the $17 billion mark to bring its current tally up to $17,060,000,000.

The third Marvel Studios movie to be released in 2018 after Black Panther and Avengers: Infinity War, Ant-Man and The Wasp
is on track to surpass the first movie and that should open the door to an Ant-Man 3. Regardless, between the movie Disney has made from the movies, comics, and merchandise, it's fair to say that the $4 billion they spend on the company was a worthwhile investment.

@minusman - it's such a fun movie!!! And Wasp totally kick-ass! I reckon she should join the next Avengers team if they were to set one up

I just saw it at the 1130pm showing in LA tonight. My third time. Just puts me in a good mood. I hope it has good legs the next few weeks.

Wait a minute. Are you factoring in Spider-Man: Homecoming's box office? All that revenue went to Sony, and not Disney/Marvel.



All movies within the MCU (including Iron Man before Disney purchased the company) do count toward the final $16.1B total. Which in itself is a tremendous number.

@KillerCroc357 - Box office is not the same thing as revenue/income, so it counts.

@BlindWedjat - Please explain, as box office = revenue.

We’ve been over this josh. A sequel making more money than its predecessor is not a rare feat. It’s So common it’s rather expected if the first was well received.
