Marvel's Fantastic Four: First Steps debuted with a massive $118 million domestically and $218 million globally, exceeding expectations and surpassing previous film adaptations. The film's success contrasts sharply with the poor performance of earlier Fantastic Four movies. Despite competition from DC's Man of Steel ($289.5M domestic, $502.7M global), which added weekend earnings, and Jurassic World Rebirth ($301.5M domestic, $718.3M global), the Fantastic Four launch marks a strong start for Marvel's Phase Six. Other box office performers included F1: Drive to Survive, exceeding $500 million globally, while the Smurfs reboot underperformed.
