Marvel's Fantastic Four: First Steps Dominates Box Office

Marvel's "Fantastic Four: First Steps" raked in approximately $57 million on its opening day, making it the second-highest opening day of the year and a significant win for Marvel and Disney. This success comes a year after Disney announced a reduction in film and TV output to focus on quality. The film's global box office has already reached $106 million, projecting a weekend total around $125 million, surpassing even the recent "Superman" release. Despite a $200 million budget, positive critical reception (88% on Rotten Tomatoes, 7.6/10 on IMDb) bodes well for profitability. Remarkably, its opening weekend already surpasses the total domestic gross of the 2015 "Fantastic Four" film.
