The Fantastic Four: First Steps has kicked off Phase Six of the Marvel Cinematic Universe with an impressive $118 million domestic box office haul from its opening weekend. That’s the fourth biggest domestic opening of 2025, behind A Minecraft Movie ($162 million), Lilo & Stitch ($146 million), and Superman ($125 million).
First Steps is coming in lighter than projections in its first box office weekend with $117.6 million. Still records were broken.
That search now appears to be over with the phenomenal release of The Fantastic Four: First Steps. The film is being met with a wave of enthusiastic praise from critics and audiences alike, marking a significant and much-needed win for Marvel Studios.
