The superhero adventure, starring Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lilly as the titular heroes, brought in $105 million from 4,345 North American theaters over the traditional weekend and finished the President’s Day holiday frame with $120 million. It’s the first $100 million domestic debut of 2023. The film added $121 million at the international box office, bringing its global tally to $225 million. “Quantumania” failed to live up to expectations in China, sputtering with $19.2 million.

Can you please stop posting this misinformation?  It didn't make anywhere near that, okay?  You can literally see how little the movie has made in each country, broken out per country.  And no, it ain't good.

The domestic daily drop-off so far isn't good.

Goes to horrible word-of-mouth usually indicative of a huge 2nd weekend drop (65%+),

Ant-Man - Quantumania:

Friday = X.
Saturday = - 26.5%
Sunday = - 24%
Monday = - 43.6%

Shang-Chi:

Friday = X
Saturday = - 21.4%
Sunday = - 2.1%
Monday = - 15%

My last attempt, because after this I am guilty of several sins of fruitless arguing.

If you call it “repeated mediocre” pizza… that means, by definition … that you have felt that all the movies have been mediocre. You have never found them to be of anything other than mediocre quality.  So maybe in the beginning you “tolerated” them?  If that is what you’re saying, fine. You never liked the movies to begin with, so of course you don’t like this one.

But you are the one inserting “mediocre” in there. The early movies were beloved and and highly regarded. So they were high quality pizza, in your example. Many people now are just saying “its gone on long enough” without criticizing the movie itself.

That’s my point. Want to talk about the QUALITY of this particular movie? That is fine. I’m all for that.  People can do that.

But you can’t say you enjoyed the movies in the past and now you don’t anymore simply because they’ve gone on too long — or at least you can’t use that as an argument as to why the stand-alone quality of this movie is objectively bad.

Nor can you game the system by jamming the word “mediocre” in there… which isn’t an accurate representation of all history. It might be of yours, which is fine.  And like I said, if that’s how you’ve always felt, then sure, I see why you don’t like this movie. But then if this movie was out three years ago you wouldn’t have liked it then either… because mediocre is mediocre.

But if the quality of this movie is akin to the quality of the older movies (and you seem to say it is) then it probably is worthy of being reviewed similarly, as a movie. People might not want to support it with their hard-earned cash. But it doesn’t mean it’s a bad movie. It just means there isn’t an appetite for it anymore. 

They didn’t start making bad westerns, you know. People just got tired of them for 50 years.

You're confusing "mediocre" with "never really liked them in the first place", that's why you're not 'getting it'.

Saw it yesterday with the wife. Was I entertained? Yes. Were there some questionable scenes/dialogue?  Yes. Was it better than Love & Thunder? IMO, yes.

Some missed opportunities for not having some previous scene stealing characters from earlier films.

 

 

Spoiler

The whole "MR." conversation was lame.

I agree with you about that conversation, but my teenage son and his friends found it laugh out loud funny.
