The Fantastic Four: First Steps had an underwhelming start at the box office in China. It even came below the release day number of The Marvels. The film might pick up in the latter weeks, but the start is pretty disappointing. China is a huge market and contributes a significant amount to a film’s worldwide collection. Thus, if the MCU movie fails to impress the viewers in China, then it will lose a big chunk of its collections. Keep scrolling for more.
The MCU movie earned the biggest preview collection in 2025. It surpassed Superman‘s $22.5 million collection to achieve that title. The movie collected $24.4 million from the previews, the 10th biggest preview collection in North America. It might even surpass Superman’s debut weekend collection as one of the biggest opening weekends of the year.
The Fantastic Four: First Steps’ opening day collection at the box office in China

The latest release has registered one of the lowest Friday openings ever for the MCU movies. It has earned this collection from over 44k screenings. It debuted out of the top 3 at #5 in China.
