According to the report, The Fantastic Four: First Steps had a slow trend in the first four days of pre-sales in China. However, it picked up a little on Monday, the 5th day of its pre-sales. But it still trailed behind many major Hollywood films’ 5-day pre-sales cume. After 5 days of pre-sales, the MCU flick hits a modest $200K cume after the fifth day.
