Fantastic Four: First Steps box office: Superhero saga scores $118M US debut, soars to $218M worldwide
Fantastic Four: First Steps box office update
Fantastic Four: First Steps kicked off stronger than expected, with a $57 million Friday fueling early projections of $120–125 million. But slower Saturday footfalls shifted that momentum. Still, the reboot stands tall as one of Marvel's top domestic openings in recent years, outside of Deadpool 3. It's also the 37th MCU film to top the box office, contributing to Disney becoming the first studio to hit $3 billion in global ticket sales in 2025.
DC's Superman held in nicely despite losing IMAX screens to Fantastic Four, adding $24.9 million domestically and $19.8 million overseas in its third weekend. The film has now crossed the $500 million mark in North America, reaching $289.5 million locally and $213.2 million internationally. Meanwhile, Jurassic World: Rebirth added $13 million in its fourth frame, lifting its domestic total past $300 million and global haul beyond $600 million as per THR.

Avatar To Get An Animated Spin-Off? James Cameron Says ‘We're Still Gathering…'
Published By : Bang Showbiz With Avatar: Fire and Ash due to hit screens later this year, director James Cameron has revealed he is hoping to make an animated Avatar series or movie. James Cameron has teased he might make an animated Avatar spin-off series or movie. The 70-year-old director is currently finishing off the sci-fi franchise's next instalment Avatar: Fire and Ash, and Cameron has now revealed he pitched an animated spin-off series or film to Disney. Speaking with Empire magazine, he explained: 'I said, 'Look, I want to do an animated anthology series that's essentially in the world, but stories that you wouldn't have expected from that world. 'There might even be an animated feature in there — it might be a feature for streaming, or a theatrical feature." The Terminator filmmaker added this Avatar project would be akin to that of The Animatrix – which was the animated anthology spin-off movie of The Matrix franchise. He said: 'A good early example is The Animatrix, where they went afield in the Matrix world. 'These are all great examples for how we can add texture and baroque detail to the world of Avatar." Cameron hopes the animated Avatar series will deliver 'backstory on characters and tangential stuff that happened off-camera within the movies". He added: 'Who first landed on Pandora? The first expedition. You could go anywhere you want." Even so, the Titanic director admitted it was still early days for the project. He said: 'We haven't done much with that yet. 'We're still gathering our stories and that sort of thing, and I've got to find the boutique filmmakers, the animators, that want to do it." Avatar: Fire and Ash will pick up after the events of 2022's The Way of Water, and follow Na'vi Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), Neytiri (Zoe Saldana) and their family as they face a fierce new threat from the fire‑wielding 'Ash People' tribe led by Varang (Oona Chaplin) – reigniting conflict on a turbulent Pandora. As grief and old enemies resurface, alliances with the Metkayina clan will test their strength, faith, and survival. Avatar: Fire and Ash – which is slated to hit screens on December 19, 2025 – will also see the return of Sigourney Weaver's Kiri and Kate Winslet's Ronal. In the first trailer for Avatar: Fire and Ash – which was released ahead of The Fantastic Four: First Steps – audiences are plunged back into the fiery heart of Pandora. The Na'vi face a chilling new threat in the form of the Ash People, also called the Mangkwan Clan, commanded by the formidable leader Varang (Chaplin). Scenes hint at an internal Na'vi civil war, with echoes of betrayal and spiritual conflict as Varang declares to Kiri: 'Your goddess has no dominion here". The movie also sees the return of Colonel Quaritch (Stephen Lang) in a Na'vi body, raising the stakes further as alliances blur and old enemies resurface. Meanwhile, Jake Sully's (Worthington) family, including Neytiri (Saldana) and their children, stand on the brink of war. Stunning new visuals feature dramatic volcanic landscapes, flying creatures, and expansive aerial and aquatic combat sequences – all pointing to a darker, more elemental chapter in the saga. Visually dazzling and emotionally charged, the trailer teases an epic scale of conflict and character evolution on Pandora. First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

The Fantastic Four India Box Office Report: ₹21.79 Cr in 4 Days, Drops on Monday
Marvel's The Fantastic Four: First Steps had a strong weekend in India but saw a sharp drop on Monday: Friday (Day 1): ₹5.5 crore Saturday (Day 2): ₹7.35 crore Sunday (Day 3): ₹7.25 crore Monday (Day 4): ₹1.66 crore Total India Collection (4 Days): ₹21.79 crore (approx.) The big drop on Monday suggests that the film may struggle to hold audience interest during the week. Competition in India The film is facing tough competition: 'Saiyaara' (Ahaan Panday, Aneet Padda) is still going strong with over ₹250 crore already collected. 'Mahavatar Narsimha', an animated mythological movie, had a ₹20 crore opening weekend. These movies are pulling audiences away from The Fantastic Four in India. International Collection Globally, the film is doing very well: North America: $118 million International markets: $100 million Worldwide total (opening): $218 million This makes it the 4th biggest global opening of 2025, after A Minecraft Movie, Lilo & Stitch, and Superman. The film's global success is clear, but in India, its future depends on weekday collections and how well it can compete with strong local hits.
