Overview

• The film earned $40 million in its second weekend, marking a 66 percent decline from its $117.6 million debut—steeper than the 55–60 percent analysts had projected.
• That drop outpaced DC’s Superman, which fell 53 percent in its sophomore weekend, underscoring volatility in 2025 superhero releases.
• Fantastic Four’s global cume stands at $368.7 million, with $198.4 million domestically and $170.3 million overseas.
• Despite remaining Marvel’s top grosser of 2025 and holding the No. 1 box office spot, its $200 million-plus budget and likely sub-$500 million finish threaten profitability.
• The steep sophomore decline adds pressure on Marvel Studios as it prepares the ensemble cast for next year’s Avengers: Doomsday.
