'The Fantastic Four: First Steps' tops US box office for second weekend; scores $369 million global total
Marvel's first family stumbled in theatres in its second weekend, but still held on to the top spot at the box office. "The Fantastic Four: First Steps" earned $40 million from 4,125 North American theatres, a 66% drop from a healthy $117.6 million debut. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The film was accompanied by comedies "The Bad Guys 2" and "The Naked Gun" in the top three box office rankings. The superhero movie dipped significantly more than Marvel's previous film, "Thunderbolts," which took a 55% dive in its second weekend. Box Office Collection "First Steps" is the last major blockbuster of the summer. It added nearly $40 million internationally in its second weekend, bringing the film's global total to $369 million. The movie's box office drop off was surprising given its strong reviews. Though the movie's debut weekend may have given box office results a strong push toward the $4 billion summer benchmark, August is off to a slow start, he said. New Movie Releases Newcomer comedy "The Bad Guys 2" earned second place at the box office this weekend, with $22 million from 3,852 North American theatres. That was on par with projections and also in line with the first movie in the series, which brought in $23 million in 2022. Paramount's slapstick comedy, "The Naked Gun," also in its debut weekend, snagged the third box office spot, earning $17 million from 3,344 locations. Box Office Report 's "Superman," which opened four weekends ago and already crossed $550 million globally, earned $13.8 million domestically this weekend, taking the fourth spot. "Jurassic World Rebirth" followed with $8.7 million. The horror movie "Together" had a strong debut weekend, coming in at sixth place and earning $6.8 million domestically, proof that August is a month for edgier and off-beat films, Dergarabedian said. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Dergarabedian said he expects highly-anticipated movies hitting theatres in the next few weeks - including "Freakier Friday," and Zach Cregger's horror movie "Weapons" - to give August a needed boost. The box office is currently up 9.5% from last year. Top 10 movies by domestic box office With final domestic figures being released Monday, this list factors in the estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Comscore: 1.
