Like Guardians of the Galaxy before it, many predicted that Marvel's Ant-Man would be the studio's first flop. Far from it. After a stellar opening in China, the Peyton Reed helmed release grossed an additional $22.2 million in The Middle Kingdom this weekend, taking its 10 day haul up to an amazing $82.2 million. That makes it the country's second biggest Marvel release of all-time behind only Guardians of the Galaxy. As of right now, Ant-Man has earned $314.8 million internationally for a worldwide haul of $493.81 million. It should pass $500 million any day now. Another movie doing well is The Martian; the Sir Ridley Scott helmed release held on to #1 for another weekend in North America and is closing in on $400 million in total, a great result for an original sci-fi movie.
Starring Paul Rudd, Michael Douglas, Evangeline Lilly, Corey Stoll, Judy Greer, Bobby Cannavale, Michael Pena, John Slattery, and Hayley Atwell, Ant-Man is set to be released digitally on November 17th and on DVD and Blu-ray on December 8th. Will you be picking up a copy? Sound off below.
