Ant-Man 3, titled Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, the highly awaited 31st movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, is all set to hit theaters in the U.S. on February 17, 2023. According to a recent report by Box Office Pro, the upcoming movie is expected to domestically earn approximately between $96 million to $131 million in its opening weekend.

The data regarding the opening numbers of Ant-Man 3, given by Box Office Pro, indicates that the movie may fall short of the numbers raked in by MCU's Thor: Love and Thunder, which domestically earned $144 million in its opening weekend.

However, the expected number for Ant-Man 3, is quite promising compared to the previous two movies in the series. 2015's Ant-Man earned $57.2 million, and 2018's Ant-Man and the Wasp earned $75.8 million domestically in their opening weekends.

Without further ado, let's dive right in and learn all about Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, ahead of its theatrical release.
