Box Office: Fantastic Four Stays on Top Despite Major Drop

Marvel’s The Fantastic Four: First Steps has scored it’s second week in first place this weekend, drawing $40 million at the domestic box office. That push helped lift its global total to a sturdy $368.7 million. While the superhero relaunch has already slowed internationally with a steep second-week drop, it’s still the top-performing film in North America.

Sliding into second, The Bad Guys 2 opened with $22.2 million domestically, marking a modest but encouraging start for Universal’s animated sequel. With $44.5 million globally, the reformed crooks might just pull off another hit if word of mouth keeps the momentum going.

Paramount’s reboot of The Naked Gun took the third spot, laughing its way to $17 million domestically. Globally, it has earned $28.5 million so far. Liam Neeson’s turn as a bumbling detective has audiences curious, though whether this franchise revival has staying power remains to be seen.

In fourth, Superman added $13.85 million to its domestic haul, bringing its North American total to $316 million. Globally, the DC reboot has now reached $551 million. While it’s a domestic crowd-pleaser, international returns are trailing, an unusual twist for a superhero film of this scale.

Rounding out the top five, Jurassic World Rebirth still has claws in the box office. After five weekends, it’s earned $318 million domestically and $766 million globally. It’s now the third film this year to pass the $750 million threshold, but still a ways off from the billion-dollar behemoths of past entries.

Meanwhile, F1 continues to lap the field behind the scenes. The Brad Pitt-led racing drama quietly crossed $545 million worldwide, officially making it his highest-grossing film ever, unseating World War Z from the top of his personal podium. It’s also Apple’s biggest theatrical success to date, proving you don’t always need a cape or a T. rex to fill seats.
