Evening! As promise…Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is the top runner with $104.0M. That’s pretty good don’t you think? Avatar: The Way of Water is clinging to number two with $6.1M with a total gross of $657.1M

Even though the latest Marvel film has been panned by critics, people came to see it anyway to get their own view on the film.
