The reddit post links to the website for these numbers but I got a forbidden screen.

I looked it up and found the link it uses. I had to click on the Wikipedia page and click the link to the Numbers.

Well, let’s see how FF is doing in a month. It’s at least gotta make more than Thunderbolts.

Even if this is evidence of SuPeRhErO fAtIgUe (bleh) we’d at least need to wait and see how Supergirl and Spider-Man perform next year.

Movie does well = no superhero fatigue.

Movie doesn't do well = better see how the next one does.

MCU is 3 for 3 this year as far as Box office disappointments go. It's sad but that's what it is.

Did I say flop?

Unless it has amazing hold and legs that it hasn't demonstrated so far, it's not going to be a hit, it might be mildly profitable but they have pushed the hell out of it and not got much for it terms of results.

Again, let’s wait and see instead of calling films disappointments early on.

It may just be that DC does better than Marvel for a bit. Hardly Superhero Fatigue.

David Zaslav himself began the DC victory lap as early as Superman's opening weekend and the hero's welcome James Gunn and co received at SDCC despite Superman just reaching $500 million at that time and treating it as if it was a billion dollars kind of indicates they're seeing something that neither the Box Office Redditor nor the ones still stuck in 2010s box office mentality are seeing.

I mean the hero's welcome was def more of a sign of the movie actually being very good, and that it was the first good Superman movie in decades.

Good. Because if The MCU has to fizzle out for a while, l’d at least like DC to keep the fire burning.

Reminder that Batman Begins had 150 mil budget against a 375 mil box office. That less than what Superman has now and while that was two decades ago, it inspired interest for Dark Knight to push a billion. Superman doesnt need to make the most money in the world, it needs to kickstart confidence in the brand.

We should also get rid of the mentality that it's a flop if it doesn't reach a billion dollars or if it doesn't make triple its budget after a week. It's not the 2010s anymore.

Nobody does that beyond strawman. Doom posting by those against comic book movies in general aside, the general consensus on Box office subreddit is that Superman is a moderate success.

A moderate success I can live with. And yeah, there’s a lot of anti-superhero snobs on Box Office Reddit.

Even a few here on this site began doomposting and declaring Fantastic Four's cursed as soon as the box office drop is 67%. Hollywood Press has been widely reporting the box office drop as well as if the sky's falling on Marvel's head. And these are mainstream press such as Variety and Hollywood Reporter, not tabloid rags such as worldofreel.

Sites want click bait, but using the opening weekend and second week drops to calculate the final total is mostly reliable outside of anomalies.(Emphasis on this, you can hope, but not expect that your desired movie be an anomaly)

Fantastic Four's most recent box office stands currently at around 367 million.

To me, there is a narrative agenda at play if the press is making an obsession with Friday's box office as oppose to the weekend earnings, which is what you should do if you want a non-bias accounting of the box office earnings.

Mainly because a lot of people can't tell the difference between Friday and Weekend box office headlines.
