While Ant-Man appears in Captain America: Civil War (opening weekend: $181.8 million), the first solo outing for the character only did a little over $57 million on opening weekend, at least domestically.
Obviously, $75 million domestically would be a big weekend for any movie, but if it happens, it should actually be a big deal for an Ant-Man movie.
So, perhaps because more people know Ant-Man thanks to Civil War, and perhaps because of its timing coming just a few months after Avengers: Infinity War, or perhaps simply due to the addition of Wasp THR’s early tracking of Ant-Man and the Wasp indicates the movie will make more money opening weekend than last time around, even while facing competition from The First Purge.
