Part 7/7:
In the initial phase, Superman has taken an early lead over Fantastic Four, thanks largely to its limited but high-profile previews. The real test will come with the full releases and how audiences respond over the coming weeks. While early pre-sale numbers look promising for Superman, the ultimate measure will be total box office performance and audience reception.
Both movies have high stakes; Superman aiming to restore DC’s cinematic credibility, and Fantastic Four hoping to prove Marvel’s revitalized franchise power. As the summer unfolds, the industry—and fans—will be watching closely to see which hero claims victory at the box office.
