THE FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS Has Now Passed The $500M Mark At The Global Box Office

Overview

  • The film’s global total has reached about $505–506 million after a sixth-weekend $4.8 million Friday–Sunday in North America, with $265.8 million domestic and $240.5 million from overseas markets.
  • Unadjusted domestic grosses have inched past Captain America: The Winter Soldier, lifting First Steps to roughly 22nd on the MCU’s domestic chart.
  • First Steps is 2025’s top‑grossing MCU release and the only one this year to clear $500 million, outpacing Captain America: Brave New World ($415 million) and Thunderbolts* ($382 million).
  • A strong $117.6 million opening was followed by an approximately 67% second‑weekend drop and continued cooling, and the title has fallen out of the domestic top five.
  • International play shows steadier holds with leading markets including the UK (~$31 million) and Mexico (~$28.2 million), and trade reports suggest early sequel discussions with director Matt Shakman are being explored.
