Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumnia is now playing in theaters, and despite a (mostly) negative reception from critics, audiences did appear to be getting a lot more out of Marvel Studios' first Phase 5 movie.
Even so, Quantumania has received the lowest CinemaScore of any MCU film.
Peyton Reed's sci-fi adventure was given a B, the same grade as 2021's Eternals, which was the first time any movie in the franchise scored below a B+ (Thor: Love and Thunder, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness).
Movies don't live or die by their CinemaScores, of course, and Ant-Man 3 is still on track to take in around $270 - $280 million worldwide over the weekend. It's also worth noting that this result stands in contrast to the film's 84% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes (its Tomatometer has dropped to 48%).
