On track to beat Ant-Man
2015’s Ant-Man is the first film in the Ant-Man franchise and Paul Rudd‘s MCU debut. It is the second-highest-grossing film in the franchise, collecting over $519.3 million worldwide. As The Fantastic Four: First Steps is tracking to earn $520 million in its global run, it has the chance to beat Ant-Man.
According to media reports, Ant-Man was made on a budget of $130 million, and it needed $325 million to break even. Therefore, with a worldwide collection of $519.3 million, the film gained a profit of around $194.3 million. However, First Steps had a budget of $200 million, and its break-even target was $500 million; thus, the 2025 film is just beginning to make profits. Regarding ROI, First Steps will not be able to beat Ant-Man.
The Fantastic Four: First Steps was released in the theaters on July 25 and is the highest-grossing MCU movie of the year.
