The first steps face a sharp drop in the North American box office this weekend

The Fantastic Four: First steps managed to avoid crashing and burning at the box office in the same way as Captain America: Brave New World And Thunderbolts *. However, the predictions for the second weekend of restarting in theaters naturally raise eyebrows.
After opening $ 117.6 million last week, the film should bring $ 40 million to $ 45 million in the coming days. On the lower side, it is a fairly steep drop of 66%, which is better than Captain America: Brave New World (68%) but larger than Thunderbolts * (56%). The latter has somewhat benefited from the change in marketing to * New Avengers.
These figures suggest that The Fantastic Four: First steps I had a start on the front, with rushing fans to see again the first Marvel family on the big screen, but everyone … not so much.
But it is not all the misfortune and sadness. The Fantastic Four: First steps Has a decent week in North America and is expected to reach $ 200 million on Sunday. The film Marvel Studios has already exceeded all other features with this team, and it has received glowing criticisms of fans and criticism.
These were not enough to help The Fantastic Four: First steps hover at the same heights as Supermansuggesting that there is a level of MCU fatigue. Disney’s habit of flooding Disney + with the content of the Marvel studios has also led to a change in the habits of moviegoers with regard to this franchise.
We are now a year old to wait Spider-Man: No time at homeand even longer than that for Avengers: Doomsday. This could be beneficial in the long term, and the world’s numbers (which should strike later in the day) will give us a better idea of the way in which The Fantastic Four: First steps plays abroad. Superman Excelled in the United States, but fought elsewhere; Is the opposite true for Fantastic and Company? We will see.
The bad guys 2 should open at $ 22 million, with The naked pistol looking at a start of $ 16 million. SupermanAs for him, plans a transport of $ 13.5 million, confirming that the steel man was not injured by the first Marvel family. If anything, the opposite could be true.
Stay listening for more box office updates throughout the weekend.
Celebrate the fantastic four in the world! 💙
