Part 7/8:
Despite its modest box office performance, some viewers found Fantastic Four to be fair given the circumstances. One critic, who approached the film with low expectations, rated it a 6 out of 10. They appreciated its structural strengths and its more serious, slower-paced approach compared to Superman. However, they noted that Superman might resonate more with younger audiences due to its fast-paced TikTok-style chaos, even if Fantastic Four was better crafted.
The review emphasized that Fantastic Four needs to sustain its performance over the coming weeks to avoid failure. Its current trajectory suggests it may struggle unless it can achieve at least a 50% drop in subsequent weekends—a difficult feat given the weak opening and international appeal.
