Fantastic Four: First Steps’ Tops $251 Million Domestic, Edges Toward $474 Million Worldwide

The Marvel reboot is closing in on a $500 million break-even target after steep post‑opening declines pressured its theatrical run.

Overview

  • After 28 days, the film stands at about $251.4 million in North America and $473.6 million worldwide, now less than $5 million behind Steven Spielberg’s Jaws ($477.9 million).
  • Industry estimates peg break-even near $500 million worldwide, leaving roughly $25–30 million to go as recent weekday grosses fall below $1 million.
  • On the domestic all-time chart, it has just passed Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and is tracking toward Captain America: The Winter Soldier’s $259.7 million.
  • The movie launched with a $118 million domestic opening and strong Rotten Tomatoes scores (about 86% critics, 91% audience), but week-to-week drops and a shrinking theater count have slowed momentum.
  • Separate coverage reports a recast linked to the Fantastic Four corner of the MCU as Kevin Feige outlines a timeline reset steering toward Doctor Doom and the X-Men.
