MCU Fantastic Four Box Office Predictions

[psylockolussus]

I think like Thunderbolts/Brave New World, most of the numbers would come from North America. Worldwide is harder to predict. I don't see it performing as well as Jurassic World and Superman globally.

I also think these early ticket sales might be frontloaded. But if they are saying its the "best first day ticket pre-seller", then it should show up in the opening weekend and gross over $100 million, which is only $12 million higher than Brave New World's 3 day weekend.

It won't perform as well globally as JW or Superman, but it doesn't need to for it to qualify as a success or a good film.

Ticket sales for genre films are generally front-loaded.

The point is Jurassic World and Superman are direct competition, how many families are still gonna watch Fantastic 4 after they just watched those 2 movies in July? Their release gap of 2 to 3 weeks isn't that wide.

We won't be bringing up those two if they were released/being released in a month like May or September.

I agree with you on the terrible release slot and have criticized that decision many times on this forum. It's negligent management by Disney/Marvel and just another example of these studios being driven by factors outside of basic logic and common sense.

The good news is The Smurfs and I Know What You Did Last Summer aren't likely going to take a hit on Fantastic 4.

Based on Fandango sales, plenty

Wow that would be huge!

Instantly outgrossing Fant4stic and Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer in 3 days!

The Fantastic 4: Second Steps confirmed!

It'd be horrifying flop territory if it didn't at least immediately blow away those disasters.

If it hits this that's a decent opening weekend. How high it climbs will be what determines if it's a one and done thing with the Fantastic Four or if they do get more solo movies. Hopefully it does since the MCU really needs some hits.

Not solo, but team movies.

Fantastico! All the worrying I had regarding box office, seem pointless now. This should definitely encourage Disney bosses to greenlit Second Steps asap!
