Box office is unpredictable; films underperform financially despite a strong start, while some take off even after a poor debut. The Fantastic Four: First Steps falls in the first category. It debuted with a $100 million+ collection at the domestic box office, yet it is struggling and experiencing the biggest drops at the cinemas. However, it is rejoicing in small achievements, and one is underway. The F4 movie is on track to beat an early MCU movie soon at the worldwide box office. Keep scrolling for more.
The F4 movie is the highest-grossing Fantastic Four film ever. It has also escaped from being one of the lowest-earning MCU movies. Its prime focus was on family, and the theme was perfectly incorporated in the movie, but it was also quite predictable. Again, the visuals were stunning, so the film had high and low points. It is expected to cross the $450 million global mark this weekend.

The 2011 MCU movie collected $449.32 million worldwide, including $181.03 million in North America. The Fantastic Four: First Steps is less than $10 million away from surpassing that collection, and it will happen this weekend.
