Jonathan Majors on the Film’s Critic Score
Earlier the screenwriter ofAnt-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,Jeff Loveness, said that he was surprised by the film’s reviews.“I was in a pretty low spot… Those were not good reviews,”he said. He shared that he was“despondent”and“sad”with threequel getting mostly negative reviews.
However, Jonathan Majors does not seem to care about the critic score as he is satisfied with the film’s performance at the box office. He said,
“I look at the aggregate and, ok, 47. But what does that 47 mean when you also got this amount of box office? What do these things mean? It’s information. I am in the know. I won’t play myself. “
Quantumaniahas scored more than $364 million at the worldwide box office after landing the largest opening day of 2023 with a $46 million box office collection. The film also became the best opening of theAnt-Manseries, with $105 million in its opening weekend at the box office.
