Predicting 20 Highest Grossing Movies Of 2018

9. Ant-Man & The Wasp ($730 Million)

Ant Man And The Wasp

Release Date: July 6

Though Ant-Man is the fourth-lowest grossing MCU film to date with "just" $519.3 million, there's every likelihood the sequel will see a sizeable increase due to the hero's increased MCU presence (including an appearance in Avengers: Infinity War two months prior).

It should comfortably outgross both Doctor Strange ($677.7 million) and Captain America: The Winter Soldier ($714.3 million), propelled by Infinity War's momentum, some solid marketing (so far) and the typical sequel bump almost all MCU sequels have received so far.

A mid-tier box office success for the franchise as expected, basically, yet if it won't make Ant-Man into a front-line member of the Avengers quite yet.
