Marvel’s ‘Fantastic 4’ Movie Is Getting Disappointing Numbers and the Actors Are Only Making It Worse – RedState
Disney-Marvel sees the figures Fantastic 4: First stepsAnd although it beats original projections of a small quantity, the news is still not good. What aggravates this is that the actors probably do not help people either.
As indicated by the figures, the film brought in $ 128 million at the national level and $ 100 million internationally, which exceeds projections.
The figures have also noted that it was the best start in an original story since End of game::
While he does not respond to what seemed possible on Friday, The Fantastic Four: First steps will land with an impressive $ 118 million this weekend, according to Disney’s Sunday morning screening. It is easily the best start for an original story in the Marvel cinematographic universe since Avengers: end of gameAnd a signal that the “less is better” approach for the studio has been working so far.
[…]Fantastic FourThe weekend was widely shaped by a great participation of the usual public of Marvel, which appeared in force on Thursday and Friday, giving the film a first “day” of $ 57 million – slightly ahead of SupermanThere are $ 56.1 million a few weeks ago.
The problem is that the film may have had a strong discharge, but its momentum did not hold. Monday figures show a lowered drop, only reports $ 10.4 million at the national level, which is not a good sign.
As this park park notes, this drop is found behind other sub-performant films, including the notorious bomb that was Ant-man and the wasp: Quantumaniawhich reached $ 14.28 million on its first Monday, as well as Captain America: Brave New Worldwhich brought in $ 11 million in the same period of time.
This means that the film’s box office numbers were probably pure and hard of Marvel, fantastic fans 4 and criticism watching movies so that you don’t have to do so, including yours.

This probably helped that the film is not bad, although it was defective in many ways, and we have always seen some of the bad habits of Disney on display. Word-to-watch (that is to say, YouTube criticism) which described the film as decent but no wonder probably helped people decide to see it. Now that Monday has rolled on Monday and the steep fall is here, Disney-Marvel leaders read disturbing tea leaves.
The film opened right next to James Gunn Superman Film, which probably did not help either, because he forced the public to choose a superhero film or the other.
The other problem is that maybe the kind of superhero is not so “tired” because it implies that a rest could make it exciting again, but rather the novelty of it has completely dissipated. It’s just another kind of movie now, and you can take it or leave it. This is not the “essential” thing that you are talking about around the water cooler as before, and it’s something to what Disney – and in fact any studio – can stop to think.
But what does not help the film to see a resurgence of the second week is probably the actors. People have absolutely the fatigue of Pedro Pascal because it is roughly on each work screen that you meet, and that does not help it be more and more kind, especially since it touches and caresses women to brake its “anxiety”.
But then you also have moments like this Ebon Moss-Bachrach, who says things like “there are a handful of fascists that I would throw in space”, which has received positive reactions from his co-stars.

On the nominal value, it is not a bad wish, but when you call Trump supporters and the Trump administration themselves “fascists” for years, it is not difficult to know that they are talking about anyone with whom they are in politically disagreement.
I do not think I need to remember that violence against others to be simply in disagreement with them is a great element of fascism.
These types of public relations errors are what often costs a film a lot of dough, and if the casting acts like that, then I don’t see the film get another big bump.
