‘The Fantastic Four: First Steps’ BoxOffice Collection aprox $218 Million Worldwide

Marvel Studios’ much-anticipated reboot The Fantastic Four: First Steps has made a strong debut at the global box office, collecting an impressive $218 million worldwide during its opening weekend. The film earned $118 million in North America and an additional $100 million from international markets across 52 countries, positioning it as one of the top superhero launches post-pandemic.

Despite a sharper-than-expected drop in daily collections over the weekend, the film is off to a solid start — surpassing the opening performances of recent superhero films like Superman (by 11%), Thunderbolts (13%), and Captain America: Brave New World (4%).

Global Box Office Collection

• North America: $118 million (from 4,125 screens)

• International: $100 million (across 52 countries)

• Worldwide Total: $218 million

This debut places Fantastic Four ahead of several recent superhero launches:

• Outperformed Superman by 11%

• Surpassed Thunderbolts by 13%

• Beat Captain America: Brave New World by 4%

However, it still trails behind Marvel’s 2024 blockbuster Deadpool & Wolverine, which had a much larger domestic opening of $211.4 million alone — a figure driven by the popularity of its two lead characters and R-rated appeal.

India Box Office Performance

In India, The Fantastic Four had a decent run over its four-day opening period, although it faced stiff competition from the Bollywood blockbuster Saiyaara. Here’s how the film fared:

• Day 1 (Friday): ₹5.25 crore

• Day 2 (Saturday): ₹7.35 crore

• Day 3 (Sunday): ₹7.25 crore

• Day 4 (Monday): ₹2.00 crore

This brings the total India box office to ₹22.10 crore. However, the film saw a sharp 72% drop from Sunday to Monday, reflecting its limited mainstream appeal compared to other Marvel properties in India and the continued dominance of local cinema.
