Marvel Cinematic Universe’s The Fantastic Four: First Steps came out swinging with a massive $117 million domestic opening (per Box Office Mojo), the biggest for the franchise in 2025. However, that strong start took a steep dive just a week later, slipping 66% in its second weekend, and despite two straight weekends at No. 1, the third looks shaky.

Fantastic Four Faces Tough Box Office Competition In Week Three

Now it seems that The Fantastic Four is in a tight race with two fresh contenders. Disney’s Freakier Friday, which brings back Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis from the 2003 original, is making a comeback. At the same time, Weapons, a new horror film from Zach Cregger, who directed Barbarian, is gearing up for a big launch.

Both are projected to pull in solid numbers and together could knock Fantastic Four down to the No. 3 spot, per Variety. According to Box Office Pro, Freakier Friday is expected to earn between $40 and $50 million. Weapons, even with its R-rating limiting its reach, is not far behind, with predictions ranging from $25 to $30 million.
