The Fantastic Four: First Steps, the latest reboot of Marvel’s First Family, has already outgrossed Captain America: Brave New World globally to become the ninth highest-grossing movie of the year. With a worldwide tally of $490.5 million, the next three 2025 films it trails are Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, F1, and Superman. However, given its current momentum and fresh competition from recent releases like Weapons, it looks unlikely that First Steps will outgross these three titles during its theatrical run.
According to a report by Screenrant, The Fantastic Four: First Steps was made on a budget of around $200 million. Using the 2.5x multiplier rule, it needs to earn close to $500 million worldwide to break even. While that target is well within reach, the film is now heading toward making a profit, albeit not a very large one. As it inches toward the $500 million mark, The Fantastic Four: First Steps is also closing in on the lifetime earnings of an action film starring The Naked Gun actor Liam Neeson and Avatar lead Sam Worthington. That film is Clash of the Titans (2010), and here’s how much more First Steps needs to earn to outgross it.
