Box Office: Fantastic Four takes a mediocre start in India, Opens below Superman & Jurassic World Rebirth
Fantastic Four debuts with Rs 5.25 crore, opens below Superman and Jurassic World Rebirth
Starring Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, and Joseph Quinn, The Fantastic Four: First Steps couldn't make it big in India on its opening day. The superhero action movie opened with Rs 5.25 crore net, which is not an expected start for such a well-budgeted MCU film.
The Hollywood movie managed to flirt with Brad Pitt 's sports-drama F1 opening day but remained below James Gunn's Superman and Scarlett Johansson's Jurassic World: Rebirth. For the record, Superman had taken a decent start of Rs 6.75 crore in India while the Dinosaur movie stormed over Rs 8.25 crore net on its opening day.
Did Saiyaara affect Fantastic Four's Day 1 box office?
The superhero movie faced the wrath of Mohit Suri's sensational blockbuster film, Saiyaara, which is not stopping anytime soon. The Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda starrer clocked over Rs 18 crore net today on 2nd Friday. The difference between the box office numbers clearly shows how the audience is inclined more towards the holdover release than the new Hollywood movie.
One must note that Saiyaara has also got more showcasing and screen count in Week 2 than its opening week, which eventually affected Fantastic Four's business.
All eyes are now on the weekend growth of the Pedro Pascal movie. If the superhero flick manages to hold well and clocks a decent figure, it might help it in sustaining at the box office for a couple of weeks.
Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates.

The film, which marks the debut of Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda , has surprised trade pundits and audiences alike with its phenomenal box office performance, beating out big-ticket films like Akshay Kumar 's Sooryavanshi, Rajinikanth-Akshay Kumar's 2.0 and Ranbir Kapoor 's blockbuster Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani. Mohit Suri Spills On 20 Years In Bollywood - Ahaan & Aneet, Alia Bhatt Dream Collab & More Just two days ago, Saiyaara was sitting at the 84th position on the all-time highest-grossing Hindi films list. Now, it has soared to the 46th spot, edging past Akshay Kumar's Sooryavanshi , Rajinikanth 's 2.0 (Hindi) and Ranbir Kapoor's Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani which had netted Rs 195.55 crore Rs 190.48 crore and with Rs 188.57 crore respectively. The film's first week haul stood at an impressive Rs 172.75 crore, and thanks to strong word of mouth and repeat viewings, Saiyaara continued to dominate screens even in its second weekend. On it's second Friday the film earned Rs 18 crore and till 2 PM on Saturday it added another Rs 6.56 crore, thus taking the total to Rs 197.31 crore and counting. Saiyaara is being hailed as the kind of old-school emotional love story that Bollywood hasn't seen in years. The chemistry between Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda has struck a chord with audiences, while the haunting title track has gone viral across platforms. Interestingly, this is not just a win for Mohit Suri or the debutants—Saiyaara also marks the rare case of a non-franchise film, devoid of superstar names or IP, to break into the coveted Top 50 list. It now sits above several major films in terms of net collections and footfalls. Saiyaara is expected to climb even higher on the all-time charts. Industry insiders are already calling it the 'dark horse of 2025' and possibly the year's biggest surprise success.
