Despite some concerns about limited buzz among Indian audiences and the strong presence of last week\u2019s hit, <em>Saiyaara<\/em>, the film has exceeded expectations with its advance ticket sales.<\/p>\n<p>As of Thursday night, approximately 50,000 tickets have been sold across major cinema chains like PVR, Inox, and Cinepolis. This is a commendable number given the competition. Factors contributing to this success include the star power of its cast, a robust promotional campaign, and favorable reviews from Western critics, which have generated curiosity among viewers. Although the Marvel brand doesn\u2019t hold the same dominance as it once did, excitement around upcoming films like <em>Thunderbolts<\/em> hints at a resurgence for the Marvel Cinematic Universe.<\/p>\n<p>In comparison, the recently released <em>Superman<\/em> sold 56,000 tickets during its opening. If <em>The Fantastic Four: First Steps<\/em> continues to perform well, it has a shot at surpassing <em>Superman<\/em>&#8216;s opening day earnings of \u20b97.20 crores. While this may be challenging, achieving over \u20b96.50 crores during a time when <em>Saiyaara<\/em> is popular is an significant accomplishment. Notably, <em>Thunderbolts<\/em> debuted with \u20b94 crores, making <em>Fantastic Four<\/em>&#8216;s numbers look even better.<\/p>\n<p>Hollywood has been thriving at the box office lately, starting with hits like <em>F1: The Movie<\/em>, followed by <em>Jurassic World: Rebirth<\/em> and <em>Superman<\/em>. If <em>The Fantastic Four: First Steps<\/em> maintains its momentum over the weekend and into the weekdays, it could be the fourth big hit from Hollywood this season.<\/p>\n<p>Starring Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, and Joseph Quinn, the film is expected to earn around $100 million in North America and another $90 to $100 million internationally, totaling nearly $200 million worldwide in its opening weekend.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The new Hollywood film, The Fantastic Four: First Steps, is gearing up for a solid opening in India.
