Doesn't need to. Solo was the most expensive SW movie ever. AM&TW was a much more modestly budgeted - by blockbuster standards - movie that has already surpassed the domestic total of the first film.

No one at Disney or Marvel is under any illusion that an Ant-Man film is going to blow the roof off the box office. If it's successful on its own terms, that's a win.
