Overview

  • The film earned $40 million in its second weekend, marking a 66% decline from its $117.6 million debut, per Comscore.
  • It remained atop the domestic box office for a second consecutive weekend despite the steep drop.
  • Fantastic Four: First Steps has amassed $198.4 million domestically and $170.3 million internationally for a worldwide total of $368.7 million.
  • Produced on a roughly $200 million budget, the movie now needs stronger holds to approach its estimated $500 million break-even mark.
  • The sharp second-weekend slide underscores waning broad appeal and raises questions about momentum ahead of Phase Six crossovers such as Avengers: Doomsday.
