Fantastic Four: First Steps Crosses $511 Million Worldwide as Domestic Haul Hits $270 Million
The $200–225 million reboot now faces questions about theatrical profitability.
Overview
- Latest tallies place the film at about $270.1 million in North America and $241.4 million internationally for roughly $511.5 million worldwide.
- Over its seventh weekend, the movie earned $2.8 million domestically after shedding about 400 theaters yet maintaining a steady hold.
- The domestic total has passed The Amazing Spider-Man (2012), making it the 34th highest-grossing superhero title in North America.
- Trade coverage notes the film trails DC’s Superman at over $600 million globally, though it has outgrossed several Marvel entries including Captain America: Brave New World, Thunderbolts, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, Thor (2011), and Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.
- Analysts point to a front-loaded run and the lack of releases in China and Russia as constraints on global upside, and a home video release date has not been announced.
