Part 4/7:
While Fantastic Four is projected to earn around $125-136 million in its opening weekend domestically—comparable but not extraordinary—Superman made a far more impressive entrance with a soft launch that belied its potential. Exclusive fan previews on Amazon Prime and limited theatrical showings on June 8th already saw Superman surpass Fantastic Four's initial pre-sale performance.
Fandango, the ticketing platform, confirmed that Superman’s pre-sales have shattered records for 2025, despite the film only being available to Prime subscribers and in limited theaters. This early success has created significant buzz, with many interpreting it as a strong indicator of Superman’s popularity and potential blockbuster performance.
