LOS ANGELES (CelebrityAccess) – The top box office numbers were ant sized compared to most Marvel Comic based movies. “Ant-Man” was Marvel’s 12th consecutive opening at Number one but with $58M but that number is small in comparison to Marvel’s other hits like “Avengers” and “Iron Man”
“Marvel should be commended for creating content that isn’t cookie-cutter or derivative of everything they’ve been doing,” Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for Rentrak, told TheWrap. “‘Ant-Man’ is more than just a superhero movie, it’s a genre movie. It’s an action comedy. It’s different than anything they’ve done. So I don’t think anyone could have expected record-breaking numbers.”
