Marvel’s latest superhero film, “The Fantastic Four: First Steps,” continues to make waves at the box office, surpassing not one but two iconic Marvel movies in its impressive run. According to ComicBook.com, the film has raked in a whopping $371.9 million worldwide, edging out the $370.5 million earned by “Captain America: The First Avenger” during its theatrical release in 2011.
In addition to outperforming Captain America, “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” has also left another Marvel title in its wake. Screen Rant reports that the film has now surpassed “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” on the superhero movie chart, solidifying its place as a box office powerhouse despite facing some challenges in its second week.
But the success of “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” doesn’t stop there. Screen Rant also reveals that the film has climbed up a major all-time box office chart, surpassing the total earnings of Michael Bay’s best Transformers movie, “Jurassic World Rebirth.” This milestone further cements the film’s status as a major player in the superhero genre.
However, not all news surrounding the film has been positive. Disney CEO Bob Iger recently addressed the significant box office drop experienced by “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” in its second week after release. While the film’s initial success was undeniable, its performance in subsequent weeks has raised questions about its longevity in theaters.
Despite the mixed reception, social media has been abuzz with discussions about the film’s achievements and setbacks. From comparisons to other Marvel movies to debates about its place in the superhero pantheon, audiences and fans have been actively engaging with the film’s performance and impact on the industry.
As “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” continues to make waves at the box office, it serves as a testament to the enduring popularity of superhero films and the ever-evolving landscape of the entertainment industry. With its impressive box office numbers and cultural significance, the film has undoubtedly left a mark on audiences worldwide.
