There's An Obvious Reason Why ‘Fantastic Four: First Steps' Collapsed At The Box Office

It's been a rough year for Disney and Marvel's MCU. Captain America: Brave New World was met with tepid reviews and a sluggish box office. Thunderbolts was better received, but the relatively unknown characters and title almost guaranteed that it would flop. More on these two in a minute. Fantastic Four: First Steps seemed, at first, to be a rebound for Marvel. Positive reviews and audience reception fueled a strong opening weekend, though it fell short of DC's Superman, which released just two weeks earlier. The film's second weekend, however, was disastrous, plummeting 66% from $117.6 million to just $40 million, a significantly steeper decline than analysts predicted (55 to 60%). When it comes to box office numbers and superhero movies, quite a few factors have to be taken into account. There are some things that are completely outside the control of movie studios. The movie theater business was already on the decline prior to the COVID-19 pandemic thanks to the rise of streaming, but consumer behavior following the pandemic has only made matters worse. Fewer people are going to the movies now than during the MCU's heyday. Many movie studios began releasing films direct to streaming during the pandemic, and even though that's been reeled back significantly, the damage was done. A good chunk of the audience will simply wait until these movies come to Disney Plus or HBO Max. Even still, the decline Fantastic Four saw week-over-week cannot be pinned entirely on consumer behavior. Superman opened with a $125 million weekend and only dropped 53% the following weekend. Both movies had strong reviews and word-of-mouth. Both had A- Cinemascores. Critics mostly praised them. So why would Fantastic Four's decline be so much steeper than Superman's? The other theory posited by some online is that 'superhero fatigue' has set in, and moviegoers are simply getting tired of the genre. This certainly adds to the equation, but Superman has already crossed the $300 million domestic box office mark, topping Man Of Steel ($291 million) and The Justice League ($229 million) from DC, both films released during the height of the superhero craze. The truth is, people are not burnt out on superhero movies. Quite the opposite. People are so hungry for good superhero movies that they're gushing about films that are okay at best. Superman was a hot mess of a movie, but fans and critics alike raved about it. And I'll admit, despite all its flaws, I think it was a more enjoyable movie than Fantastic Four. People raved about that one, too, but aside from the cool retrofuturistic aesthetic, it's mostly just incredibly dull with a lackluster ending. People are so desperate for good superhero movies, they've convinced themselves that these qualify. But bad movies often do well at the box office (Aquaman $335 million domestically and over $1.1 billion globally) and good movies often do bad (Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves $93.9 million domestically and $208.2 million globally) so even looking just at quality can't always explain a film's poor showing. If we want to get down to the number one reason Fantastic Four: First Steps declined so much in its second weekend, acknowledging all these other factors, it's simple: It's a Fantastic Four movie. These characters are not particularly popular. No Fantastic Four movie prior to this has been very good. These are not Batman or Superman or Avengers level comic book characters. It's more damning, ultimately, that Captain America did so poorly. Captain America ought to be a major hit for Marvel at this point, but Brave New World was a confusing mess and very few people are particularly excited about Anthony Mackie's Sam Wilson taking on the role of Captain America, while Bucky (Sebastian Stan) – a more sensible choice given his old friendship with Steve Rogers – is tucked away in Thunderbolts. The problem with superhero movies these days is that the people who make them are out of touch with the people who watch them. They have forgotten who the target audience is, and why moviegoers head to the movies in the first place. To his credit, James Gunn was right to go with a popular DC hero like Superman for his DCU reboot (and smart to choose mostly less-expensive stars to fill the roles, because budgets are absolutely out of control). He just happened to also write one of his worst scripts for the film. Between lousy scripts (Fantastic Four's is terrible) and characters most moviegoers don't care about, superhero fatigue and sluggish box office numbers are less about people not wanting these types of movies and more about the quality of the movies we keep getting from both Marvel and DC. Give the people what they want. Find better writers. There's plenty of life left in the genre. The question is whether the people in charge have the creativity and wherewithal to bring audiences back.

3 Dates for Disney Investors to Circle in August, Including a Big Financial Update

Key Points Disney shares have risen 25% over the past year, well ahead of all of the market averages. The media giant reports fiscal third-quarter results on Wednesday. Analysts see low single-digit growth on both ends of the income statement. Disney has scored big at the box office in recent months by revisiting successful franchises. It's doing so again later this week. 10 stocks we like better than Walt Disney › Shares of Walt Disney (NYSE: DIS) proved mortal last month, sliding 4% in July after hitting a new 52-week highs in each of the last three trading days in June. Can Disney get its groove back this summer? There will be plenty of potentially stock-moving moments in August. From a telltale financial update to an annual fan event, there are a few dates that Disney investors will want to keep an eye on in the month ahead. Let's take a closer look. Aug. 6 Disney will announce its fiscal third-quarter results on Wednesday morning. There's a lot riding on the fresh numbers, even if Wall Street pros aren't holding out for much. Analysts see revenue clocking in at $23.76 billion for the three months ending in June, less than 3% higher than where Disney landed a year earlier. The profit target is only marginally higher. The consensus estimate calls for Disney to earn $1.45 a share, a 4% increase. Now that Disney's streaming business has been profitable for more than a year, the year-over-year comparisons might not be as impressive. Thankfully, recent history is on the side of the bulls. Check out how Disney's bottom line has turned out over the past year relative to market expectations. Quarter EPS (estimate) EPS (actual) Surprise Q3 2024 $1.19 $1.39 16% Q4 2024 $1.11 $1.14 3% Q1 2025 $1.43 $1.76 23% Q2 2025 $1.21 $1.45 20% Data source: Yahoo! Finance. Disney has topped analyst projections every single time over the past year. The pixie dust on top is that three of those surprises have been double-digit percentage beats. The last two reports saw the House of Mouse exceeding forecasts by at least 20%. There might be reasons to be concerned this time around, though. Comcast, Disney's biggest attractions rival opened a brand new theme park in May, minutes from Disney World. Meanwhile, Disney's Lilo & Stitch live-action reboot became the first U.S. film to top $1 billion in worldwide receipts this year during the quarter, but Inside Out 2 fared even better as last year's biggest fiscal third-quarter release. The impact of a softening economy and trade war implications can also eat into Disney's results. However, until Disney shows signs of softening, investors can look to the stock's recent performance: Its 25% jump over the past year is almost double the market average. Aug. 8 Disney has been on top of the domestic box office the past two weekends with The Fantastic Four: First Steps. It's hoping to stay there next weekend. But if the well-reviewed Marvel entry can't score a three-peat, there's a good chance the crown can go to another Disney franchise, as Freakier Friday opens on Friday. The new films brings back Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan from the initial reboot that became a sleeper hit and cult classic 22 years ago. The new story goes one more notch up the family tree, and the same might happen for the film's chances as well. Freakier Friday should draw fans of the 2003 reboot as well as a potentially new younger audience. After a slow start at the local multiplex in 2025 with a few notable disappointments, Disney seems to be back in sync with moviegoers. Aug. 29 The biennial Destination D23 event comes to Disney World in the final weekend of the month. The three-day event isn't as prolific as last year's D23 Expo that takes place every other year, but it's a place for Disney fans to gather and catch presentations about the past and present, and, more importantly, to get glimpses of the future of the entertainment giant. This year's Destination D23 won't have the same fireworks that Disney fired off at last year's D23 Expo in Anaheim. Several new attractions and expansion plans were announced across its theme parks last summer. There could be some more details or fine tuning of timelines offered, but this will mostly serve as a way to get its fan base excited about the future of its content releases, theme park upgrades, and more. If you want to quantify the fervor of the Disney community, keep in mind that tickets for this three-day event start at $299 a person, going all the way up to $799. Oh, and the event has been sold out for weeks now. If you won't be there, you can be sure that social media, popular blogs, and even financial journos like Yours Truly will be around to keep you updated on anything notable that takes place.
