First Steps” is still number one at the box office in its second weekend, but the movie is facing some serious trouble. It dropped a huge 80% in ticket sales compared to its opening weekend, which is the biggest second-weekend drop in the Marvel Cinematic Universe so far.

With The Fantastic Four: First Steps estimated for a difficult 66-percent box office drop from its respectable opening weekend of $118 million domestic, the comic book movie giant has watched its 2025 strategy lose some of the core audience that cemented the MCU as appointment viewing for years... the average moviegoers.

Maybe “superhero fatigue” is a thing of the past – with DC’s “Superman” still soaring in theaters, Marvel’s “Fantastic Four” reboot is set to join the fun this weekend, with positive momentum.
