‘Fantastic Four: First Steps’ Rockets to $57 Million Opening Day, Second-Biggest of 2025
The highly anticipated Marvel Cinematic Universe entry, “The Fantastic Four: First Steps,” has made a colossal impact at the box office, raking in an impressive $57 million from its Friday and preview screenings. This stellar performance marks the second-biggest opening day of 2025, narrowly trailing “A Minecraft Movie” by just over $100,000.
The film, starring MCU newcomers Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach, has already surpassed DC Studios’ “Superman,” which debuted with $56.1 million just two weeks prior. Industry analysts are closely watching to see if “Fantastic Four” can maintain its momentum to eclipse “Superman’s” $125 million three-day opening. This strong start also represents the best first-day kick-off for an MCU film since “Deadpool & Wolverine” premiered a year ago, underscoring the value of Disney’s 2019 acquisition of 20th Century Fox. With strong reviews and an “A-” Cinema Score from audiences, the film aims to be one of the year’s top grossers.
In other box office news, Warner Bros.’ “Superman” secured second place, adding $7.1 million on Friday and projected to reach a $289 million domestic total by Sunday. Universal’s “Jurassic World Rebirth” continues its strong run, landing in third with an additional $3.6 million on Friday, nearing a $301 million domestic total. “F1” and “Smurfs” rounded out the top five, with the racing thriller adding $1.8 million and the animated feature pulling in $1.72 million on Friday, respectively.
