Many hopes are riding on this MCU movie, which has been received positively by the viewers. Its opening day gross alone has surpassed the entire $56.1 million domestic run of 2015’s Fantastic Four. Later this week, it will beat Rise of the Silver Surfer’s $131.9 million domestic haul, and by its second Friday, the film will also surpass 2005’s Fantastic Four’s $154.7 million domestic collection. It is set to be the most successful F4 film ever in North America.

The latest MCU movie, The Fantastic Four: First Steps, is the fourth film of 2025 to open with a $100 million+ collection at the North American box office. According to Box Office Mojo‘s data, it collected $118.0 million in its three-day opening weekend domestically, recording the fourth-biggest opening of the year.
It is the sixth-biggest opening for the MCU in the post-COVID era. First Steps missed the #5 spot by a hair, but this could change if the actuals came in higher.
