The movie's performance is a needed win for Kevin Feige's Marvel Studios after a string of misses save for 'Deadpool & Wolverine.'
“The Fantastic Four: First Steps,” the newest installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, is shaping up to be one of Marvel’s best-reviewed and biggest hits in recent years after making $23 million in Thursday previews, a strong showing after the last “Fantastic Four” movie flopped.
Fantastic Four: First Steps opened to an estimated $57 million in the United States on Friday, including preview screenings, making it the second-largest opening day of the year. The figure puts the Marvel Cinematic Universe entry just behind A Minecraft Movie, which earned $57.11 million on its opening day.
Disney/Marvel Studios’ “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” is having a, well, fantastic start to its box office run. Including $24.5 million from Thursday previews, the film has earned a domestic opening day of $57 million and is headed for an industry estimated $123.5 million opening weekend.
First Steps is coming in lighter than projections in its first box office weekend with $117.6 million. Still records were broken.
