The Fantastic Four: First Steps Box Office — On The Verge Of Surpassing A Star-Studded, 87%-Rated Animated Hit

After nearly eight weeks in theaters, the box office momentum of Marvel’s latest Fantastic Four reboot has naturally diminished due to competition from recent releases like The Conjuring: Last Rites and the film’s upcoming digital release. Despite rave reviews from both critics and viewers, the MCU film hasn’t performed at the box office as initially expected. Yet, The Fantastic Four: First Steps has earned an impressive $518.9 million worldwide.

The reboot has just outgrossed James Cameron’s iconic sequel, Terminator 2: Judgment Day. Now, First Steps is targeting the global haul of the 2015 Marvel hit – Ant-Man, which stands at $519.3 million. It is also closing in on the 87%-rated star-studded animated blockbuster – Kung Fu Panda 3 (2016). Here’s how much the Pedro Pascal-starrer Fantastic Four reboot needs to earn to surpass it worldwide.
