Marvel's "Fantastic Four: First Steps" debuted strongly but experienced a significant 66% drop in its second weekend, earning $40 million. While still topping the North American box office, this steep decline is comparable to other recent Marvel underperformers. Despite positive reviews, the film's appeal seems limited beyond its core fanbase. Other new releases included the animated sequel "The Bad Guys 2" ($22.8 million), the comedy "The Naked Gun" ($17 million), and the horror film "Together" ($6.8 million).
