Part 9/11:
The Fantastic Four failure serves as a stark indicator of possible continued struggles for Marvel. The alarming drop in box office performance could jeopardize the studio's plans leading into the next phase, including the much-anticipated Avengers: Doomsday. Expectations for Marvel's future become increasingly cautious as each flop adds to the mounting evidence that the brand's dominance might be waning.
It's worth noting that some analysts argue a 55-60% drop wouldn't doom the franchise but would still require strategic adjustments. However, a 67% decline, as seen with Fantastic Four, is generally regarded as catastrophic for a summer blockbuster.
