The Fantastic Four: First Steps<\/a>‘<\/strong> <\/strong>opening day outpaces the 2015 movie\u2019s entire box office run. The Marvel Cinematic Universe<\/a>\u2019s long-awaited reboot of The Fantastic Four is already making history. The triumphant Fantastic Four: First Steps<\/a> has officially earned more in its first day than the entirety of 2015\u2019s ill-fated Fantastic Four managed during its entire domestic run.<\/p>\n

Fantastic Four: First Steps earned $57 million domestically on its opening day (via Box Office Mojo<\/a>). That\u2019s more than the entire domestic gross<\/strong> of Josh Trank\u2019s Fantastic Four (2015), which ended its U.S. theatrical run at $56.1 million. The early box office milestone underscores just how drastically the brand’s perception has shifted now that Marvel Studios has taken the reins.<\/p>\n\n
