Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania shrinks at the box office after polite review. The film is expecting the biggest second weekend drop in the nearly 15-year history of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, as the biggest new release of the week — Cocaine bear — excels alongside a faith-based newcomer colleague The Jesus Revolution.
Universal’s action comedy Cocaine bear surpasses expectations with a number one finish on Friday. The film grossed $8.6 million on its first day of release (including $2 million from Thursday previews) and is expected to finish the weekend with $21 million, surpassing projections by $5 million. It’s a return to form for the director Elizabeth Bankshis last film was a disaster Charlie’s Angels restart.
Starring Keri Russell, O’Shea Jackson Jr. and Alden Ehrenreich, Cocaine bear Riding the wave of viral advertising and mostly harsh reviews. It also continues Universal’s excellent streak of betting on original films no, M3GAN, A violent night and Knock on the cab. Cocaine bear received a so-so-so B- CinemaScore, which would be low for any other film, but is actually a solid result for a genre picture.
