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.

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.
