'The Fantastic Four: First Steps' box office collection Day 7: Pedro Pascal starrer dips under Rs 50 Lakh on Thursday; earns Rs 26.35 crore at end of week 1 in India
'The Fantastic Four: First Steps' the final Marvel film release of the year, concluded its first week at the Indian box office. However, the film crossed the week 1 finish line, on a low, earning an estimated Rs 46 lakh on Thursday. This marked the film's lowest daily collection since its release. Starring Pedro Pascal , Vanessa Kirby , Joseph Quinn , and Ebon Moss-Bachrach , the Matt Shakman directorial had opened decently with Rs 5.5 crore on Day 1 and managed to sustain momentum over the weekend. According to Sacnilk, the film has since seen a rather unsteady run at the ticket wndows. After a decent weekend haul of Rs 20.1 crore, Monday brought a significant dip to Rs 1.66 crore. The film saw marginal growth on Tuesday with a collection of Rs 1.9 crore, however, Wednesday's earnings suggest a tapering trend. With this, the total India net collection stands at approximately Rs 26.35 crore. According to trade reports, the film's Thursday dip reflects the mounting competition at the Indian box office. The film's box office run has been impacted heavily by the dominance of domestic hits such as 'Saiyaara', which has surpassed Rs 270 crore in just two weeks, and 'Mahavatar Narsimha', the animated mythological film that has crossed the Rs 45 crore mark in its first week. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Bikaner: 1 Trick to Reduce Belly Fat?

'Fantastic Four' has performed better in English-language shows, contributing a large share to its domestic earnings, but the Hindi-dubbed version has struggled to maintain occupancy. The English shows have earned a total of Rs 18.65 crore, while the Hindi shows have contributed an estimated Rs 6 crore. The remaining collections came in from the Tamil and Telugu dubbed versions of the film. With a competitive line-up ahead, the film may face a challenging second weekend unless it sees a significant boost in multiplex footfall. For now, its prospects of crossing the Rs 30 crore mark in India remain uncertain.
