“Fantastic Four” Takes First Steps to $120 Mil Weekend with Huge Previews, Plus French Classic Makes $62 in 1 Theater

July 25, 2025 11:30 am

The Marvel Universe got a big boost last night.

“Fantastic Four: First Steps” raked in $24.4 mil in previews.

The weekend looks at $120 mil plus.

Great reviews and word of mouth are building toward a mega hit.

What a box office summer! Week after week of blockbusters is what Hollywood needed. “Superman,” “Jurassic Park,” even “F1” — they’ve each done their job. And that doesn’t take in “Lilo and Stitch” or “Sinners,” “Minecraft Movie,” or “Final Destination.” Not bad!

For some reason, about 7 people showed up last night at the only theater where the re-release of Claude Lelouch’s classic “A Man a Woman” is still playing. Gross was $62.

Keep refreshing..
