The site believes that Fantastic Four 2025’s box office performance is still continuing “at an expected pace” and that “tracking and pre-sales fit within the usual Marvel mode.” However, the new numbers are “accounting for direct competition against Superman’s first week of release,” a film which is still displaying “early positive holds.”

"Superman" will hover over the box office again as "Smurfs" and "I Know What You Did Last Summer" open in theaters.

Fantastic Four is set to be a much-needed hit for Marvel, and its box office debut could be even bigger than Superman.
