The great fourth biggest opening of the year gives Marvel a sigh of relief
Marvel’s first family finally found the box office. “Fantastic Four: First Step” The first film about a superhero made under the guidance of Kevin Feige and Walt Disney Studio estimates that Co. won $118 million over its first weekend with 4,125 North American theatres.
This will be the fourth-largest opening behind “Minecraft Movie”, “Lilo & Stitch” and “Superman” and the biggest Marvel opening since. “Deadpool & Wolverine” sold $211 million I left the gate last summer. Internationally, “Fantastic Four” won $100 million from 52 territories, making its $218 million debut worldwide. The numbers were within the studio’s expectations.
The film arrived in the wake of another big superhero reboot, James Gunn’s “Superman” It opened three weeks ago and has already exceeded $500 million worldwide. The film ranked second in the country at $24.9 million from DC Studios, the comic book film’s other main player.
The box-office success of “First Step” and “Superman” means “the whole concept of superhero fatigue. This is something that’s been talked about about. I think you can rest. I say it’s not superhero fatigue, but bad movie fatigue.
“First Step” is the latest attempt to bring a superhuman family to the big screen, following the poor performance of other versions. The film is based on the original Marvel comics and is set in a retro-futurestick world led by the Fantastic Four, a family of aliens who turned to astronauts exposed to cosmic rays during space missions in the 1960s.
The family consists of Reed Richards (Pedro Pascal)who can stretch his body to incredible length. Sue Storm (Vanessa Kirby)who can make you invisible. Johnny Storm (Joseph Quinn) transforms into a fiery human torch. and Ben Grimm (Evon Moss Bachalach) who has incredibly superhuman strength with his stone-like flesh.
The film takes place four years after the family gained power, during which Reid’s invention changed technology and Sue’s diplomacy led to global peace.
Both viewers and critics responded actively to the film. The film currently has 88% of rotten tomatoes and promises to answer an exit poll from opening weekend ticket buyers. An estimated 46% of viewers chose to see it on a premium screen that includes IMAX and other large formats.
Once towering Marvel works to reconstruct the audience’s enthusiasm for films and characters. Two previous products this year have not reached the box office high for Deadpool & Wolverine space, which earned more than $1.3 billion. But very importantly, the film has been on the upside since the lack of reviews on “Captain America: Brave New World,” which ultimately won $415 million worldwide. “Thunderbolts” Jump has started Summer movie seasonit is better to take it critically, but it concludes financially with over $382 million worldwide.
Like Deadpool and Wolverine, Fantastic Four characters were under the 20th century flag Fox For years. The studio had two very disgusting feelings in the mid-2000s, but produced a rather useful attempt by future Captain America Chris Evans as a human torch. In 2015, I tried again (failed) with Michael B. Jordan and Miles Terror. They got another chance afterwards Disney’s $71 billion acquisition of Fox’s entertainment assets in 2019.
The results of “Fantastic Four” over the weekend were a little less than what rival studios expected, Delgalavedian said. Nevertheless, the film is expected to accumulate cinema revenue through August.
Holdovers dominated the top 10, but another newcomer was able to chart. Dark romantic comedy “Ah, hello!” won $1.1 million from the 866 screen.
“Jurassic World Rebirth” came third in the fourth weekend with $13 million, followed by a $6.2 million “F1.” The Brad Pitt Racing Films also handed over $500 million worldwide. “Smurfs” concluded the top five with $5.5 million over its second weekend.
Box office revenues are currently up more than 12% from last year.
