Are you ready to see Kang battle Kang this weekend? Okay, it's actually more like Jonathan Majors vs. Jonathan Majors as Creed III puts on its gloves to go head-to-head with Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania at the domestic box office.

Majors has a, well, major role in both movies, playing Kang the Conqueror in Marvel Studios' latest blockbuster and a rival boxer to Michael B. Jordan's Apollo Creed in the third instalment of that franchise. According to Variety (via ActioNewz.com), Creed III has the edge and looks set to emerge from this fight with the win. 

The trade explains that the movie is on course to earn a trilogy-best $36 million - $40 million this weekend, with Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania trailing behind with $16 million - $19 million. It's worth noting that movie is in its third weekend of release, and has already grossed $170 million domestically and $366 million worldwide. 

The first Creed movie debuted to $29.6 million, with the sequel hitting $35.5 million. Reviews for this third chapter have been very positive, whereas the latest Ant-Man adventure suffered a big second-weekend drop amid a surprising number of poor verdicts from critics. 

Also heading to theaters this weekend is Guy Ritchie's Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre, though that's only expected to earn around $5 million. 

Reviews for that one have been a little mixed, but we concluded ours by noting, "Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre is an enjoyable Guy Ritchie romp hampered by an all-too-familiar story but redeemed by explosive action and one of Jason Statham’s most swagger-filled performances to date as Bond-beater Orson Fortune."

Scream VI is will be released next week, so it will be interesting to see how that fares. A busy March will then roll on with Shazam! Fury of the Gods following on March 17.

What will you be heading to theaters to watch this weekend?

@MarvelZombie616 - I didn't know operation fortune came out already. Seems like I hear nothing about it, then all this advertising, then nothing again.

@MarvelZombie616 - Too bad about Operation Fortune. After how good The Gentleman was, I had hoped Guy Ritchie was returning to form.

@mountainman - Same here, Snatch is such a cool movie. I keep hoping he will recapture that kind of magic.

@mountainman - LOL did you even see Wrath of Man?!

His last and by far his weakest film.

Operation Fortune had failure written all over it after that.

@kylo0607 - Nope didn’t see that one. I’ve really disliked all modern Ritchie, besides the Gentleman. I was hoping that movie would signal a return to form for him.

Interesting to see a comic book movie site root so hard against its own subject matter.

@philinterrupted - probably because it used to be special but is now overblown and constantly thrown in our face. Doesn’t help that the majority of all recent cbm have been fairly mediocre.

mountainman - 3/2/2023, 6:00 PM
@philinterrupted - Some of us like good CBMs and dislike bad ones. It doesn’t help the genre to promote bad movies.

@mountainman - AntMan isn’t a bad movie, it’s not winter soldier, but that doesn’t mean it’s bad.

@dracula - i’m sorry that Rocky isn’t in this movie

@philinterrupted - yeah but its a series stallone gave his blessing to

@dracula - look I fully expect creed 3 to be the better movie. Just the amount of articles that Josh is putting up shitting on Ant-man is excessive. the movie isn’t that bad.

@philinterrupted - I think the same but with pointless articles praising it or with dumb interviews...
mountainman

@philinterrupted - I haven’t seen it so I don’t have a personal opinion yet. As far as I can tell, this article is just objectively reporting on box office performance

@mountainman - it’s the culmination of the the hate in the past 2 weeks. Quantumania doesn’t deserve this much hate, it doesn’t deserve to be named the greatest movie either.
mountainman
mountainman - 3/2/2023, 7:18 PM
@philinterrupted - I’ve only seen a few users on the site that outright hated the movie. Most have said it’s ok to good. Sure critics were harsh on it, but that is what it is. But box office results don’t lie, the movie under-performed. It happens. Some movies earn more than they should and some earn less.
