The box office should be in the first steps to raise the warnings for Marvel

Things started on a promising note of “The Marvel Studios” “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” at the box office, but with these things, it is not only one weekend – it is related to the following weeks. To this end, the director Matt Shakman suffered Red Richards, and the gang suffered from a significant decrease than expected on the second weekend despite the truth. “First Steps” is one of the best entries reviewed in the world of Marvel Cinematic At some time. As a result, Marvel Studios may need to start running some alarm bells at this stage.

The “first steps” obtained an estimated $ 40 million at the end of the second weekend locally, making a 66 % decrease compared to its opening. It also added another $ 39.6 million in its second framework. “Fantastic Four” was first restarted to $ 118 million locally And 100 million dollars abroad. The projections before the week had occupied the last confrontation of Marville much better, but this is not the way to shake hands with things. Thus, there is a reason for Marvel and Disney anxiety.

The film holds a $ 200 million production budget, and it is currently $ 368.7 million worldwide. Not to make this Marvel Vs. DC is something, however, against similar reviews, James Gon’s “Superman” was much better on the weekend and crossed the brand of $ 400 million by that stage. “Superman” also reached $ 500 million on the third weekend A vocal book is currently released in 2025 with $ 551.2 million worldwide. It will reach at least $ 600 million if not closer to $ 700 million, depending on how things are shaken from here.

“Fantastic Four”, at the same time, will have to have more than $ 500 million worldwide. Besides “Captain America: New World” ($ 415 million worldwide) and “Thunderbolts*” ($ 382 million worldwide), it was a difficult year for MCU. Movies like “Deadpool & Wolverine” withdraw $ 1.3 billion It is now the exception and the base of Marvel Studios is no longer. This is the fact that the company will have to accept it. As for what he does within the limits of this new reality? This is a billion dollar question.

“Fantastic Four” may not touch $ 600 million, however, even if so, it is still far from what Marvel Studios was hoping. Keep in mind that the rights of “Fantastic Four” are a large part of it Disney purchased 71.3 billion dollars from Fox in 2019Along with the rights of “X-Men”. It was certain that it was much more, much more than securing personal rights in Marvel Studios, but Kevin Feige undoubtedly assumed that these characters could lead to $ 1 billion privileges within the largest scope of MCU.

When “Avengers: Endgame” achieved $ 2.79 billion in 2019MCU seemed to be unlawful. However, in the years after that, the cinema habits became raised, and Disney+ has become a greater focus, as more people choose to flow things at home. More importantly, Marvel Studios failed to constantly present the pensioners crowds as I did, with films such as “Eternals”, “Black Widow”, “The Marvels” and “Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania”, which proves more divided. Even the strikes like “Thor: Love and Thunder” were met with a much less than their predecessors such as “Thor: Ragnarok”.

Everything is added to a position in which the general public does not see that the Mediterranean MCU movie is an inevitable event. Even the restarting property known as Fantastic Four, which was met with great reviews, can only get a lot of attention. If Marvel is not able to make the A-List team work at this turn, what hope does a drug like “Nova” or “Power Pack”? An example of this: “Thunderbolts*” has similarly met very good reviews, but it failed to present it at the box office. So, what now?

Does Marvel only hope that the fans will appear to “Avengers: Doomsday” next year because the word “Avengers” is in the title? Let’s not forget, Fantasti The Thunderbolts (AKA The New Avengers)They are large parts of the actors. If “Day of Resurrection” disappoints the hopes of high expectations, then what then? It may seem absurd to assume that “Avengers” may disappoint your property, but at this point, there is nothing guaranteed for MCU. The only clear thing is either that it needs to be changed or Disney needs peace with diminishing returns.

“The Fantastic Four: First Steps” is now playing in theaters.
