re: Was Antman a failure?

I've seen articles that depict this a blow for Marvel. The seemingly "cant do anything wrong" studio,finally did something wrong.

They compared the opening weekend with the likes of Thor and Captain America. Antman cam in roughly $7 million short of those two films.

I think they did pretty well. I'm not too fluent in comics, but I know who Captain America and Thor are, and I'm sure most of the public does too.
How many were well versed in the realm of Antman? I'm not.


Or am I off here?

I don't think anyone expected it to do Captain America or Thor numbers--

Antman's budget 4 years after Captain America, and even with requiring a director shift, was still 10 million less than Cap's.
