With $279m global opening, The Fantastic Four: First Steps breaks a box-office curse

LOS ANGELES – Marvel Studios over the weekend took a step towards regaining its reputation as Hollywood's most reliable hitmaker. The Fantastic Four: First Steps was expected to collect about US$118 million (S$151 million) at theatres in North America from Thursday through Sunday, according to Comscore, which compiles ticketing information. Based on advance ticket sales and surveys that track moviegoer interest, Hollywood had expected First Steps to arrive to about US$115 million in domestic ticket sales. The movie, which cost at least US$300 million to make and market worldwide, was on pace to generate an additional US$100 million overseas, for a global opening total of roughly US$218 million. Reviews were generally strong. It was Marvel's first original breakout hit in six years. The film is not a sequel – t he characters were adapted from Fantastic Four comics, first published in 1961. Marvel had previously tried to strike gold with movies such as Eternals, which fizzled in 2021, and Thunderbolts*, which was released in May and has taken in US$382 million, the lowest total in Marvel's 17-year, 37-film history when adjusted for inflation. Marvel's sequels have also been hit and miss, contributing to fears of 'superhero fatigue' in Hollywood. In some ways, its runaway success in the 2010s made it arrogant. The studio's storytelling became tortuously complicated, weaving together plots from numerous TV shows and movies, and prompting some casual moviegoers to decide that Marvel cared only about comic nerds. Disney, which owns Marvel, pushed hard on a First Steps marketing message in the weeks leading up to the film's release: You do not need a doctorate in Marvelology to understand this one.

'It literally is not connected to anything we've made before.' The Fantastic Four – composed of Invisible Woman, Human Torch, Mister Fantastic and the Thing – have proved difficult to adapt for the movies, making the response to First Steps more notable. A low-budget version in 1994 was so slapdash that its release was cancelled. A 2005 effort was loathed by critics and fans, but it performed well enough in theatres to get a slightly less reviled sequel, Rise Of The Silver Surfer (2007). The property was rebooted in 2015, but that version also fizzled at the box office and is derisively remembered as the Fantastic Four movie in which the Thing wore no pants. First Steps, directed by Matt Shakman (WandaVision, 2021), stars Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, Pedro Pascal and Ebon Moss-Bachrach. Julia Garner co-stars as the enslaved Silver Surfer. Critics praised the movie for its strong ensemble, retro-futuristic setting and satisfying villain (Galactus), among other aspects. 'The movie is a step up in concept, storytelling and appeal,' said Mr David A. Gross, a film consultant who publishes a newsletter on box-office numbers. 'We haven't had this kind of performance from the genre for a long time.' First Steps arrived two weeks after Superman, which was a hit for DC Studios and Warner Bros. It slipped to second place at US$24.9 million, putting its global take over the US$500 million mark. Mr Gross noted that studios are releasing only four superhero movies in 2025 – they have all come out – down from eight in 2023. 'This is the new normal,' he said, explaining the pullback as Hollywood realising that supply had exceeded demand. As of now, the next superhero movie is 11 months away: Supergirl, in June 2026.

Bend It Like Beckham sequel in the works, Entertainment News
A Bend It Like Beckham sequel is in the works. The 2002 sports-drama movie — which starred Keira Knightley and Parminder Nagra — is widely credited with inspiring a generation of women to play football, and director Gurinder Chadha thinks now is the perfect moment to launch a sequel. The 65-year-old filmmaker told the BBC: "We've been part of changing the game for women, so it felt like this was a good time for me to go back and investigate the characters." The England women's football team have enjoyed significant success in recent years and are currently preparing to take on Spain in the final of Euro 2025. Gurinder observed that attitudes towards women's football have changed since the first movie, but she admits that more progress is still needed. She said: "A lot has changed since the original movie, but I think that people still don't think that women should play football. "There are people who still don't take it seriously, although the Lionesses are riding high. "I've left it a while, but I thought, look at the Euros, look at the Lionesses." Gurinder hopes the sequel will spread a positive message and "challenge" stereotypes. The director explained: "What I did was say you can do what you want, and you can have it all, and I think that's a really great message to put out again. I think there's still stuff to say, and stuff to challenge." Bend It Like Beckham proved to be a big moment in Keira Knightley's career, but the actress previously revealed that her friends scoffed at the idea of making the movie. During an appearance on The Tonight Show, Keira told host Jimmy Fallon: "I literally remember telling people I was doing it and it's called Bend It Like Beckham, and them going, 'Oh that's really embarrassing'. And they were all like, 'Don't worry. Nobody will see it. It's fine.'" The actress noted that "women's football was not as big" in 2002 as it is now, and so her friends assumed that the movie would flop at the box office. She said: "Women's football was not as big back then, and so the idea of the whole thing was sort of ridiculous." Despite this, the film proved its doubters wrong, earning more than US$70 million (S$89.6 million) at the box office and even inspiring a musical adaptation of the movie. And Keira — who also starred in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise — is still constantly reminded of her role in the movie by fans. She said: "It's amazing because it's still the film even today, you know, if someone comes up to talk to me about my work, it's that one. It's so loved. It's amazing." [[nid:720616]]
