, has seen a significant boost in collections on its ninth day.
The global earnings soared to an impressive Rs 2252.45 crore, according to data from Sacnilk website.
The early days showed signs of decline. Post-Day 5, the Day 9 numbers suggest growing interest, possibly due to strong IMAX 3D appeal and word-of-mouth buzz finally catching on.
India Contribution Modest But Steady; English Version Leads the Pack

The Hindi version has brought in Rs 6.59 crore, followed by Tamil at Rs 86 lakhs and Telugu at Rs 58 lakhs.
Interestingly, the English version has maintained the highest day-to-day consistency. Day 9 alone added Rs 1.91 crore to the English total, showing a slight rebound from the mid-week dip. In contrast, the Hindi version saw a smaller Rs 19 lakhs on Day 9, while Tamil and Telugu made marginal additions of Rs 6 lakhs and Rs 2 lakhs, respectively.
No Final Verdict Yet; But Revival Sparks Hope for Extended Run
Despite its box office turnaround, 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps' is yet to receive an official verdict in any language. The numbers are promising, but the lack of a declared hit or average status leaves room for cautious optimism.
Still, fans and analysts alike are hopeful. Pedro Pascal's presence and the film's high-concept visual storytelling seem to be finding traction with a wider audience, especially those seeking immersive big-screen experiences. ETimes review for the film reads, "Pedro Pascal stands out as Reed Richards, portraying the duality of a brilliant scientific mind who views everything through a pragmatic lens. His internal conflict over his unborn child's normalcy—constantly running scans and tests—is handled with finesse.
Vanessa Kirby
impresses as Sue Storm, balancing her duty as a superhero with that of a mother who refuses to sacrifice one for the other."

After wife Priya, Sunjay Kapur's stepdaughter Safira changes her Instagram name amid Rs 30,000 crore property battle
Sunjay Kapur's untimely demise has caused chaos amongst the members of his family. With a reported Rs. 30,000 crores of property at stake, the constant question that remains is who will inherit how much of the empire. After the late businessman passed away due to cardiac arrest, his wife, Priya, changed her name on social media, as she now goes by Priya Sunjay Kapur. Days later, Kapur's stepdaughter, Safira, also dropped her surname, 'Chatwal,' from her Instagram bio. The move by the mother and daughter is viewed as some kind of strategy to show more power in the empire's inheritance. Will Safira inherit Sunjay Kapur's property? According to the legal documents, the deceased property is inherited by his biological children. Hence, despite Karisma Kapoor and the late businessman's split in 2016, their two kids, Samira and Kiaan, have the right to share in their father's assets. According to the media reports, Kapur's kids from his marriage to the actress are gifted Rs. 14 crores of bonds and a monthly income of Rs. 10 Lakh. However, there's no official word regarding the same. Moreover, Kapur, who shared a son, Azarius, with his wife, Priya Sachdeva, will be the direct heir to both the trust and personal wealth. As for Safira, she is the daughter of Priya and her ex-husband, Vikram Chatwal. She will have a share in Sunjay's property if only she is legally adopted by Sunjay. In such a case, Safira would equally inherit the property, as his brother, Azarius. What do Karisma and Priya get from Sunjay Kapur's property? Priya, being the legal spouse of Sunjay at the time of his death, owns a significant portion of his assets due to the absence of a will. Moreover, Sunjay was the sole beneficiary of the RK Family Trust. Following his death, his wife will inherit and handle the assets.
