“The Fantastic Four: First Steps” is off on the right foot at the box office.
Marvel‘s latest comic book adaptation has lifted off with $118 million from 4,125 North American theaters over the weekend.
Those ticket sales were slightly ahead of expectations of $100 million to $110 million.
“Fantastic Four,” a retro-futuristic adventure starring Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Bachrach and Joseph Quinn as the titular team, collected another $100 million at the international box office for a global total of $218 million.
Directed by Matt Shakman, “Fantastic Four” follows the foursome of Mister Fantastic (Pascal), Invisible Woman (Kirby), The Thing (Moss-Bachrach) and Human Torch (Quinn) as they protect their world from a planet-devouring cosmic being.
Based on initial turnout, “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” is shaping up to be a needed win for Marvel Studios.
