After Jurassic World Rebirth and Superman, this sci-fi film became blockbuster, made on budget of Rs 2300 crore, earned Rs 2500 crore, movie name is…
Here we are talking about Marvel's newly released sci-fi, 'Fantastic Four: First Steps. Helmed by Matt Shakman with music by Michael Giacchino, the film transports viewers to an alternate 1960s Earth. Its ensemble cast includes Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben. Julia Garner debuts as the female Silver Surfer (Shalla‑Bal), while Ralph Ineson portrays the cosmic titan Galactus. What is the storyline?
The film bypasses the usual origin plot from the comic, of the Fantastic Four, where these four have already inherited their superpowers after their space mission. The plot gets interesting when Galactus arrives, demanding Sue's (played by Vanessa Kirby) unborn son Franklin and the family faces their darkest hour. Reed Richards (played by Pedro Pascal) builds teleportation bridges to save Earth and the finale sees the Silver Surfer sacrificing herself to betray Galactus, only for Franklin's emerging power to resurrect Sue, revealing his immense potential for the upcoming calamity. How much did Fantastic Four: First Steps make at box office?
Globally, the film opened to 218 million (118m domestic, 100m international) 2500 crore according to the Indian rupee, which was made on a staggering budget of Rs 2300 crore. In India, it began modestly at Rs 5.1 crore on day one and Rs 12.6 crore by day two. By day three, collection reached Rs 19.6 crore, reflecting growing audience interest despite strong competition like Jurassic World: Rebirth, Superman, Saiyaara and latest releases, Mahavatar Narsimha and Hari Hara Veera Mallu. More about Fantastic Four: First Steps
Galactus, whose entry was awaited by Marvel fans after Thanos, has completely shaken everyone, a godlike cosmic entity that consumes planets. His looming threat and retro design ground the story in tangible dread. Meanwhile, Doctor Doom doesn't appear fully in this film, the mid-credits tease Robert Downey Jr.'s portrayal in Avengers: Doomsday, setting up a future confrontation with the Fantastic Fours.

'Mahavtar Narsimha' dominates over 'Saiyaara', 'Son Of Sardaar 2', 'Dhadak 2' at the box office, collects Rs 15 crore on its second Saturday
It's a busy weekend at the theatres with four movies competing against each other at the moment. While 'Saiyaara' has been ruling at the box office ever since the movie released, this Friday, which is August 1 saw the release of two anticipated sequels - 'Son Of Sardaar 2' and 'Dhadak 2' which stars Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri. But amidst these three movies, now 'Mahavtar Narsimha' came out of nowhere last week and has now seen incredible growth due to positive word of mouth. On its second Saturday, which is August 2, the movie collected much more than what it made even on first Saturday. So much so, that it is dominating over 'Saiyaara' and even the other two new releases. Mahavtar Narsimha dominates over other releases on Saturday As per early estimates from Sacnilk at Saturday night, 'Mahavtar Narsimha' has collected Rs 15 crore at the box office on its day 9 which is second Saturday. This is huge. It had made only Rs 4.6 crore on its first Saturday. The total collection of the film so far in all languages, is Rs 67.95 crore. It has performed the best in Hindi language. Meanwhile, as per the same website, 'Son Of Sardaar 2' has made Rs 7.50 crore as per early estimates. 'Dhadak 2' made Rs 3.75 crore on Saturday. Meanwhile, 'Saiyaara' has collected Rs 6.35 crore on its day 16. All these are the early estimates on Saturday night. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Thailand: New Container Houses (Prices May Surprise You) Container House | Search ads Search Now Undo The total collection of 'Saiyaara' now stands at Rs 291.35 crore. If the film sees growth on Sunday, it will be able to cross Rs 300 crore or that would happen on Monday. According to Box Office India, Dhadak (2018) earned nearly ₹9 crore nett on its first day, but that's not a fair comparison since it had hugely popular music backing it. Movies like this aren't really about opening-day numbers—they rely more on how they perform in the days that follow. That's very different from a film like Son of Sardaar 2, where a strong day one is absolutely key. But that unfortunately did not happen as there's been low buzz surrounding this Ajay Devgn starrer.
