Despite winning over critics and cinephiles with an 86% Rotten Tomatoes critics’ score, a 91% audience score, and a solid 7.3/10 IMDb rating, The Fantastic Four: First Steps hasn’t quite become the mega-blockbuster Marvel fans expected. Still, with a worldwide haul of nearly $469 million, the reboot currently ranks among the top ten highest-grossing movies of 2025 globally.
As it inches closer to the $500 million mark, First Steps has already crossed a major milestone, overtaking the lifetime earnings of Steven Soderbergh’s 83%-rated star-studded 2001 heist classic Ocean’s Eleven, featuring George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, and Julia Roberts. Here’s how the two films compare at the global box office.
