Marvel’s first family weren’t first on Disney<\/a> Plus for long. The Fantastic Four: First Steps<\/a> recently debuted on the service, only to be shoved aside by a different long-awaited reboot about a family who have strange powers.<\/p>\n

That would be Freakier Friday<\/a>, of course, the follow-up to Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan\u2019s body-swap misadventure, 22 years in the making. Arriving on Disney Plus on November 12, it was the most-watched film across the platform the very next day, according to FlixPatrol<\/a>, and has held that position through the weekend.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Fantastic Four has been pushed down into second, after enjoying the number one spot since debuting on November 5. The heroic return of the iconic quartet lasted just over a week as the reigning release of Disney Plus movies, before succumbing to Curtis and Lohan’s sequel.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s a hard combo to go up against, even with the combined charm of Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach. In Freakier Friday, not only are Tess (Curtis) and Anna (Lohan) caught up in more body-swapping tomfoolery, but Anna\u2019s daughter Harper (Julia Butters) and step-daughter Lily (Sophia Hammons) are thrown into the mix as well.<\/p>\n

Calamity and hilarity ensue! Freakier Friday took over $153 million at the box office, demonstrating the nostalgia and interest audiences have for the 2003 film, and the concept in general.<\/p>\n

With these numbers, I wouldn’t be surprised if Freakiest Friday comes around sooner rather than looter. Disney and Marvel Studios<\/a> should consider a crossover for the ultimate streaming draw. It’ll make Avengers: Secret Wars<\/a> and Avatar: Fire and Ash<\/a> look like child’s play.<\/p>\n
