The most recent and notable failure was Fantastic 4, which, despite a marginally better performance than its predecessors, still failed to ignite sustained interest. Its second-weekend box office plummeted by 66%, earning only $40 million—a clear sign of waning audience enthusiasm. For context, blockbuster hits like Spider-Man: No Way Home saw significant drops but still retained impressive totals due to their record-breaking openings. Fantastic 4’s decline suggests a dwindling consumer base and a tired brand.
