‘Fantastic Four: First Steps’ Soars with $218M Global Debut, ‘Superman’ and ‘Jurassic World’ Hit Major Milestones
Marvel’s highly anticipated film, “The Fantastic Four: First Steps,” has made a formidable entrance at the global box office, grossing an impressive $218 million worldwide on its opening weekend. The superhero adventure, directed by Matt Shakman, secured $100 million from international markets, narrowly surpassing the overseas launch of DC’s “Superman” earlier in July, though “Superman” still holds the edge in overall global opening figures with $220 million.
Starring Pedro Pascal as Mister Fantastic, Vanessa Kirby as Invisible Woman, Ebon Moss-Bachrach as The Thing, and Joseph Quinn as Human Torch, “First Steps” has been met with strong reviews and positive word-of-mouth. This initial success is a significant win for Disney and Marvel, who have been navigating a period of commercial inconsistency despite recent hits like last year’s “Deadpool & Wolverine.”
Beyond the new debut, other major blockbusters continue to achieve significant milestones. Warner Bros. and DC Studios’ “Superman” has now powered past $500 million globally in its third weekend, reaching $502 million. Universal’s “Jurassic World Rebirth” roared past the $700 million mark worldwide in its fourth weekend, with current ticket sales at $718 million. Additionally, Brad Pitt’s racing drama “F1” crossed the $500 million threshold in its fifth weekend, achieving $509 million globally to date.
