Part 7/9:
Looking ahead, the fate of Fantastic Four hinges on several factors: marketing strategies, international performance, and actual audience reception. Industry tracking projects a domestic opening between $100-110 million, with potential international earnings adding roughly another 10-20%. Whether it outperforms expectations or falls short depends on solidifying walk-up traffic, which marketing campaigns aim to boost in the coming days.
There's also the ongoing question of whether traditional Marvel audiences are still buying into the hype. Historically, a vast majority have been skeptical of overly optimistic predictions, and with the franchise's recent downturn, it’s possible that untapped or indifferent audiences could impact box office figures.
