After a week off of major debuts, Ant-Man and the Wasp gives Disney/Marvel another opportunity to assault the box office. This time, it’s a follow-up to the 2015 film that introduced us to the madcap adventures of a cat burglar who stumbles upon a size altering suit. While the original was not nearly as successful as some of the more recent Marvel outings, it was solid enough to deserve a sequel. This time, Evangeline Lilly is given more screentime as the Ant-Man associate Wasp, one of the original members of the Avengers. As one of only two movies to fill in the gaps between the two parts of the Avengers films, it may get a boost at the box office, enabling it to soar higher than its predecessor. Also, if early indications are true and the film really is a success with critics, it could be a much bigger success than suspected. The First Purge has no hopes of topping that film, but it could rival the third weekend of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom for second place considering the $30 million-range debuts of all three prior films in the series.
