After the heavy and dour Avengers: Infinity War, superhero fans are probably looking for the nice change of pace that will arrive next month with Ant-Man and the Wasp. The upcoming Ant-Man sequel takes place before the events of Infinity War and sees Ant-Man/Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) teaming up with Wasp/Hope Van Dyne (Evangeline Lilly) to defeat Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen).

According to THR, the upcoming superhero movie is currently tracking to open at $75 million, which would put it well ahead of the $57 million the first Ant-Man opened to back in July 2015. That film would go on to gross only $180 million domestic, but did fairly well worldwide as it pulled in $519 million. Since Marvel solo sequels have a tendency to outperform the ones that came before, that should bode well for Ant-Man and the Wasp’s fortunes.

There will also be a bit of competition that weekend as Universal and Blumhouse will release The First Purge, which is expected to pull in $25 million in its five-day debut. The previous Purge movie, The Purge: Election Year, made $31 million on its opening weekend when it hit theaters on July 1, 2016.
