Overview

• Global cumulative box office stands at roughly $443 million, with domestic revenue near $240 million against a production cost around $200 million and heavy marketing outlays.
• The film has recorded steep week-to-week drops, including an estimated 49% fourth-weekend decline that compares unfavorably even with the 2005 Fantastic Four release.
• Industry observers point to competition from surprise digital releases such as James Gunn’s Superman, evolving theatrical windows and early piracy as factors dampening its remaining box office legs.
• Despite eroding ticket sales, the reboot maintains favorable critical and audience reception, holding mid-to-high 80s scores on Rotten Tomatoes and strong exit-poll feedback.
• Marvel’s positioning of the Fantastic Four as the MCU’s ‘First Family’ hinges on sustained theatrical performance to support Phase Six tie-ins, mid-credits teases and early sequel planning.
