ANT-MAN AND THE WASP Tracking for a $75 Million Opening Weekend
At this point, everyone knows that a Marvel movie is going to make a ton of money. That looks to be the case with its next title, Ant-Man and The Wasp, which has hit tracking boards this week.

And now that the movie didn’t make money, that decreases the chances of any sort of follow-up. I’m probably the only person…
