Marvel Studios’ The Fantastic Four: First Steps is showing some promise at the box office after a few days, and it is now on track to surpass a Steven Spielberg classic worldwide. The movie is also on track to beat the global haul of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and is struggling to reach its next major milestone, the $500 million mark worldwide. Keep scrolling for the deets.
It has been the first time ever that none of the comic book movies crossed the $700 million milestone in a year. Superman is also expected to end its run way below the mentioned mark. MCU has it worse. Two previous Marvel movies did not even cross the $450 million mark. Thunderbolts* failed to hit $400 million, and Captain America: Brave New World stayed below $450 million. It has been a challenging year for the MCU, and now, the Fantastic Four movie is also underwhelming at the box office.

Inches closer to beating Steven Spielberg’s Jaws worldwide

The MCU movie is less than $5 million away from surpassing this Steven Spielberg classic. It will be a remarkable achievement for the Marvel movie.
