The Fantastic Four First Steps box office collection Day 1 projection: Marvel film posed to earn over $200 million worldwide
The Fantastic Four First Step box office collection Day 1 projection: No one on this entire planet is more nervous right now than the whole Marvel team. The Fantastic Four First Steps is less than 24 hours from release, and this truly is a make-or-break film for the studio. As Marvel takes the final few steps before releasing Avengers: Doomsday, First Steps will determine the amount of intent people will show while going to watch the future films. Numbers are in regarding the film's first day, and the studio has high expectations for the film during its opening weekend. According to Variety, The Fantastic Four First Steps is expected to earn over $100 million to $110 million in the US during the first three days. It is expected to earn another $90 million to $100 million at the international box office. Now bear in mind that the alien from Krypton has already set some pretty high standards when it comes to reboots and superhero movies, as James Gunn's Superman earned $122 million domestically during its opening weekend. Helmed by Matt Shakman and now equipped with the chatter and clamour after the post-credits scene leaks, the first family of Marvel might just beat Superman. ALSO READ: Who would win between Lex Luthor and Galactus? The actors who played them were wondering the same thing According to trade analyst Ramesh Bala, The Fantastic Four First Steps is expected to earn Rs 5 crore in India on Day 1, falling short of Superman's first-day net collection of Rs 7.25 crore. Marvel's recent form has to be taken into account, which ultimately affects the total number of people who are going to turn up to watch their films. The theatre experience takes effort, and you can't expect people to keep showing up when you refuse to deliver time after time. If Marvel truly pulls off a great film that uses iconic comic book characters to their full potential, they can very well be looking at a comeback. If not, the first three days will bring in curious people, but because of negative reviews, the numbers will start dropping as the days progress. Starring Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Julia Garner, and Ralph Ineson, The Fantastic Four First Steps will release in India on July 25.

Sonu Sood gives Fish Venkat's family ₹1.50 lakh to help them after his death, assures them of his support
Beloved Tollywood actor and comedian Fish Venkat died in Hyderabad on 18 July after hospitalisation due to kidney issues. He passed away even as his family pleaded with Tollywood stars to help them financially and to help them find him a kidney donor. Sonu Sood gave the family ₹1.50 lakh after his death, assuring them of his support, as per a press note sent by his team. Sonu Sood has assured late actor Fish Venkat's family of financial and moral support. Sonu Sood gives Fish Venkat's family ₹ 1.50 lakh Sonu provided financial support to Venkat's family after his death due to a kidney issue, reads the note. He had offered help, hoping that the actor was still in the hospital, and was shocked to know he had died due to deteriorating health. After learning the news of his death, Sonu transferred ₹1.50 lakh to Venkat's family to help tide them over. He even spoke to Venkat's family members, especially his wife, over the phone, assuring them of his support even in the future. Venkat's wife seemed relieved and happy to receive the help, given that her husband was quite fond of Sonu. Venkat was 53, and he was admitted to the ICU earlier this month due to kidney failure. He was surviving on dialysis. His family members were hoodwinked by someone claiming to be Prabhas' manager and offering help when they approached the media. However, soon actors like Vishwak Sen and Sonu stepped up to support him. Pawan had previously also given the family some money when he had learnt of Venkat's ill health. His family had previously told the media that they were struggling financially and needed ₹50 lakh for the transplant. Recent work Venkat was last seen in the film Coffee with a Killer this year, and it is unknown if he had shot any other films before his death. Sonu wrote, directed and produced the Hindi film Fateh this year. A previously shelved project, Madha Gaja Raja with Vishal in Tamil, was also revived and released this year.

Vidhu Vinod Chopra Says No One In South India Wanted Munna Bhai MBBS: 'Got One Show In Chennai'
Today it's a cult classic, but Munna Bhai MBBS was almost dead on arrival — at least outside of Mumbai. Filmmaker Vidhu Vinod Chopra, the producer behind the 2003 Sanjay Dutt hit, recently opened up about how the film had no takers in South India just days before release. Speaking on the latest episode of Creator x Creator on SCREEN, Chopra recalled, 'Munna Bhai MBBS opened to empty theatres. Munna Bhai MBBS is the movie that made me rich, but that's because nobody bought that film outside of Mumbai." He said a distributor from South India who had agreed to take the film for Rs 11 lakh backed out at the last minute after watching it. 'Those days, they used to take delivery. So he came to take delivery four days before the film's release. When he saw the film, he said, 'Sir, this film won't work even for a day. Nobody outside of Mumbai would get the language of Munna Bhai.'" The film, known for its use of Bambaiya slang, followed a gangster from Mumbai who decides to become a doctor. Despite the local flavour, Chopra said he was surprised at the lack of confidence from distributors. He even offered to return the advance amount already paid. 'The bottom line is I had no distributor for South India. I had friends — Shyam Shroff and Bala Shroff — who had a company. There was a cinema there, and I got just one morning show at 11 am in Chennai. I sold my print there for Rs 5 lakh. My final business from that one centre was in Rs 1 crore plus." He added that it took a few days for audiences to warm up to the film. 'Nobody went to see the film the first day or the second day. But when you do good work, (it'll pay). Which is where I'm anti-marketing. Not anti-marketing, but I don't really care about marketing because people will discover." Chopra drew a parallel with the response to his recent directorial 12th Fail, which also had a slow start but went on to become a long-running success. 'Even 12th Fail started with Rs 10–30 lakh. It ran for seven months in cinemas in today's time! Two months after it released, it was already on an OTT platform like Hotstar, yet people went into cinemas." Chopra, who has also produced hits like Parineeta, 3 Idiots, PK, and Sanju, said it all comes down to following his gut and trusting the story over the sales pitch.
