‘The Fantastic Four: First Steps’, the most-awaited Marvel movie of 2025, has finally hit the theatres worldwide. The movie has been receiving an amazing response from the audiences, which is a big relief for Marvel Studios, as many past projects were underwhelming.
However, it opened to a lukewarm start at the Indian box office. It earned much less than expected on its first day, mainly because of fewer screens, tough competition from other movies still running, and people feeling a bit tired of superhero films.

At the India box office, The Fantastic Four: First Steps had a modest start. It earned approximately Rs 5.25 crore on its opening day, followed by a slight rise on day two with collections around Rs 7.35 crore. This brings the film’s two day net total to Rs 12.60 crore, reflecting a performance below pre-release expectations.
With just Rs 12.60 crore net in two days, The Fantastic Four: First Steps is headed towards a Rs 20 crore weekend and a projected lifetime haul of around Rs 40 crore, at best. The situation isn’t expected to improve, with upcoming Bollywood movies like Dhadak 2 and Son of Sardaar 2 poised to eat into its screen space from week 3.
