With a current global haul of $491.9 million, the latest Fantastic Four reboot is ahead of several popular 2025 titles, including Captain America: Brave New World, Thunderbolts*, and Sinners. Despite an uneven box office run, The Fantastic Four: First Steps currently ranks as the ninth highest-grossing movie of the year.
Backed by strong reviews from critics and positive word-of-mouth, First Steps is expected to cross the coveted $500 million mark at the global box office this weekend. As it heads into its sixth weekend in theaters and inches closer to that milestone, the Pedro Pascal-starrer is also on track to challenge the lifetime earnings of a big-budget action blockbuster starring Brad Pitt. We’re talking about the 2004 film Troy. Read on to see how the two stack up and how much First Steps needs to outgross Troy at the worldwide box office.
