Marvel's "Fantastic Four: First Steps" achieved a record-breaking $24.4 million in previews, surpassing "Superman's" previous high. Projected to earn $100-$110 million domestically and $90-$100 million internationally for its opening weekend, it's poised to outshine "Superman." This success comes after Marvel's recent box office underperformances, with hopes that "Fantastic Four" will reverse the trend of "superhero fatigue." The film, featuring a retro-futuristic aesthetic and boasting positive critical reception (89% on Rotten Tomatoes), marks the Fantastic Four's official MCU debut. Disney also announced it will surpass $3 billion in global box office revenue.
