By Marvel Studios’ “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” premiered in February last year to a weak reception and a lackluster $476.1 million worldwide gross.
It’s a film that’s mostly famous these days for being both the big screen start, and now likely end, of Jonathan Majors’ Kang the Conqueror character.
In addition, it was noted for its poor quality visual effects that really brought the issues with Marvel’s post-production pipeline into the public conversation.
Now, a new report at Forbes has gone into the film’s finances. As the project was shot in the United Kingdom, the production company for the title had to file financial statements that are eventually released for public disclosure.
By doing so, they benefit from the UK government’s tax credits which gives productions a cash reimbursement of up to 25.5% of the money they spend in the country.
According to the outlet, that reimbursement came to $58.282 million (£44.5 million) for ‘Quantumania’. The outlet indicates the film total costs came in at $388.370 million (£301.5 million) prior to the reimbursement which brought net costs to $330.088 million
They also indicate the total revenue generated from the film stands at $330.176 million – resulting in a net profit of $88,236. However, as the piece goes on to explain, the result here is as much a case of clever accounting and working within UK tax laws than anything else so shouldn’t be seen as final numbers.
