In other Marvel franchises – Iron Man, Captain America, Thor and Guardians of the Galaxy – UK box office rose with each instalment.
Marvel has found another UK chart champ with Ant-Man and the Wasp, topping the box office with £4.99m – albeit thanks to the inclusion of £1.23m in Thursday previews.
Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again beat Ant-Man and the Wasp on both Friday and Saturday.
The pressure will be on Disney in the UK for Ant-Man and the Wasp to exceed Ant-Man’s UK total of £16.3m.
