Fantastic Four First Steps earns biggest MCU preview box office of 2025 with $23 million

Marvel Studios' The Fantastic Four: First Steps is off to a stellar start, generating approximately $23 million from Thursday previews that began at 2PM, according to Deadline's Anthony D'Alessandro. Directed by Matt Shakman, the film is already surpassing expectations, with industry projections placing its domestic opening between $100 million and $110 million. Although Disney has not officially confirmed the figures, sources indicate this is the strongest preview performance for an MCU title in 2025 so far. The film's Thursday preview earnings nearly double those of Thunderbolts ($11.5M) and significantly outperform Captain America: Brave New World ($12M). In addition to its financial momentum, First Steps is earning strong critical and audience reception, with an 88% critics score and 92% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. Its performance closely mirrors that of James Gunn's Superman, which debuted two weeks ago with $22.5 million in Thursday previews—though that total included $2.8 million from Amazon Prime advance screenings. Superman went on to earn $56.1 million on opening Friday and $125 million for the weekend, with an 84% critics score and a 92% audience rating. On the promotional front, First Steps is breaking new ground. Social media analytics firm RelishMix reports the film is the first of 2025 to surpass one billion in combined reach across TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, X, and YouTube—overtaking Jurassic World Rebirth (921M) and Superman (953M). Cast members including Pedro Pascal (11.4M followers), Joseph Quinn (5.6M), and Vanessa Kirby (2.6M) are credited with driving much of the online traction. Fan reactions online have been overwhelmingly positive. Many are praising the film's 1960s retro-futurist setting and its standalone nature, which allows viewers to enjoy it without prior MCU knowledge. The introduction of Galactus as the central villain is also generating excitement. As one fan commented, 'Galactus is coming—this movie is about to be fantastic!'

Percy Jackson season 2 trailer reveals epic Sea of Monsters journey

Disney+ unveiled the official teaser for 'Percy Jackson and the Olympians' Season 2 at San Diego Comic-Con 2025, offering fans a glimpse of major action sequences and beloved new characters. Creator Rick Riordan announced that the new season will premiere on December 10. The teaser revealed the first look at Tyson, Percy's cyclops half-brother, portrayed by Daniel Diemer. The story follows Percy (Walker Scobell), Annabeth (Leah Sava Jeffries), and Clarisse (Dior Goodjohn) on a journey to the Sea of Monsters to rescue Grover (Aryan Simhadri) and recover the Golden Fleece to save Camp Half-Blood. They face threats from Luke (Charlie Bushnell) and the returning Titan Kronos (Nick Boraine). Season 2 dives deeper into character arcs. Grover must navigate being captured alone, Annabeth opens up emotionally, and Clarisse's backstory reveals her traumatic past. Executive producer Jon Steinberg promised more fantasy elements, describing Season 2 as 'magic in every direction.' Highlights include a massive chariot race sequence and behind-the-scenes moments like Simhadri in a wedding dress and Diemer and Scobell recreating Titanic's iconic pose. Diemer said playing Tyson, a gentle cyclops with emotional depth, was a dream come true. Season 3 was also teased, with Levi Chrisopulos and Olive Abercrombie joining as Nico and Bianca di Angelo, children of Hades (Jay Duplass). The show continues to grow its mythological world with new faces and deeper emotional journeys. Season 1 ended in January 2024, making this return highly anticipated. With enhanced visuals, deeper themes, and new characters, Season 2 aims to take Percy Jackson fans on an even more epic quest.

Lindsay Lohan's 'Parent Trap' co-stars Lisa Ann Walter & Elaine Hendrix support her at 'Freakier Friday' LA premiere

Lindsay Lohan attended the Los Angeles premiere of Disney's Freakier Friday on Tuesday, marking her return to the big screen in a long-awaited sequel to Freaky Friday. Alongside co-star Jamie Lee Curtis, Lohan reprised her role as Anna, over two decades after the original film was released. The premiere also brought an unexpected moment of nostalgia as Lohan reunited on the red carpet with Lisa Ann Walter and Elaine Hendrix, her co-stars from the 1998 film The Parent Trap. In that film, Lohan portrayed twin sisters Annie and Hallie, while Walter played housekeeper Chessy and Hendrix portrayed Meredith Blake, the character engaged to the twins' father. The trio posed together for photos, drawing attention from fans who fondly remember the film that helped launch Lohan's career. The Parent Trap continues to resonate with audiences for its story of twin sisters separated at birth who meet for the first time at summer camp and try to reunite their parents. Freakier Friday, set to release on August 8, follows Anna as a mother navigating the complexities of a blended family. The film includes returning cast members Mark Harmon, Chad Michael Murray, and Christina Vidal, with Elaine Hendrix also making an appearance. New cast additions include Julia Butters, Sophia Hammons, Manny Jacinto, Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, Rosalind Chao, Vanessa Bayer, and Chloe Fineman.
