The recent high grossing animated movies are pretty good for a high multiplier and stamina. The calendar (summer) probably helps I2 too.

I'm bored with following this movie, but to just to show for the record: RE:"Ant-Man 2's lackluster performance" AatW has matched the daily domestic cume multiplier of Spider-Man Homecoming for the past 3 days and has the highest Day 14 sequel multiplier in the entire MCU. (it can go down or up from there - sequels are usually more frontloaded so there's more downward pressure eventually). It doesn't matter as much if its weekends are soft as long as/because the weekdays - particularly discount Tuesdays - are so jacked up during the summer. SMH finished with a 2.86. The average MCU domestic multiplier is 2.5 with 90% of grosses coming on Day 27. AatW opened +32.48% higher than Ant-Man and a 2.86 multiplier would have it finishing at $216,822,906 (Ant-Man's 2015 domestic gross +20.32%). An average MCU sequel multiplier gets it to $189.5M ($9M above Ant-Man). It's tracking closer to SMH (directly matching) than the average right now. In the longer term look for how theater losses and if expansions affect its haul. As far as worldwide goes, AatW has not been released everywhere in the world yet - including some big markets.

The effect is exacerbated by Summer Tuesdays not being school days. So a portion of the demand from the weekend moves to the weekdays, particularly Tuesday for the discount. Parents with kids in particular benefit from the discount rate than just a single individual buying one ticket would. At least this is what I think is happening.

Last update on Ant-Man 2 for a while. The pattern is there, big summer weekdays, softer weekends, rocket Tuesdays as families want those Tuesday discounted tickets for family movies. Not much else to say but wait for it to lose theaters later on and see if it or other movies get Labor Day expansions.

To follow-up on my previous post RE:Ant-Man 2. First weekend to Day 10 domestic multipliers among MCU sequels (highest to lowest - 10 days): Avengers: Infinity War: 1.76 (current multiplier 2.62) Ant-Man and the Wasp: 1.75 (with current Disney weekend 2 estimate) Thor: Ragnarok: 1.73 (final multiplier 2.57) Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2: 1.70 (final multiplier 2.66) Thor: The Dark World: 1.69 (final multiplier 2.41) Captain America: The Winter Soldier: 1.67 (final multiplier 2.73) Captain America: Civil War: 1.65 (final multiplier 2.28) Iron Man 2: 1.65 (final multiplier 2.44) Avengers: Age of Ultron: 1.64 (final multiplier 2.40) Iron Man 3: 1.64 (final multiplier 2.35) Top 3 highest final numbers highlighed in blue, bottom 3 highlighted in red. * still in theaters; numbers are not final.

(click to enlarge) Ant-Man and the Wasp (Jul. 2018) First Domestic Weekend: $75,812,205 (2015's Ant-Man Weekend 1 +32.48%) Second Domestic Weekend (Deadline projection July 14, 2018): $28,100,00 (2015's Ant-Man Weekend 2 +12.81%); AMatW (2018) projected cume lead over AM (2015): $25,865,364 on Day 10 Once the dailies for AMatW drop below the first Ant-Man's that lead that's building up will begin to erode. Marvel sequel multipliers as shown in the above chart across nine movies have ranged from 2.28 (CA: Civil War) to 2.73 (CA: The Winter Soldier). By sequel multipliers ($75,812,205 * x = dom. gross): * 2.28 (CA: Civil War) = $172.9M * 2.49 (average MCU sequel multiplier) = $188.8M * 2.73 (CA: The Winter Soldier) = $207.0M Even the average MCU multiplier just gets AMatW ahead of the original domestically by about $8.6M. And there's not quite been the buzz evident that Winter Soldier, Guardians 2, Infinity War, and Ragnarok got (the four highest sequel performers with 29-30 days to reach 90% of their final total and the above MCU sequel average multipliers). In its favor is that it's the sequel to the original Ant-Man which did well with 37 days to 90% and a 3.15 multiplier, which is around the third/fourth highest origin/first entry in the MCU for those benchmarks.
