‘The Fantastic Four: First Steps’ box office collection Day 6: Pedro Pascal starrer sees another drop; earns Rs 24.71 crore total |

Marvel Studios’ latest release, ‘The Fantastic Four: First Steps’, continued its theatrical run in India with a declining box office performance on its sixth day. According to early estimates on sacnilk, the film earned approximately Rs 1.05 crore (India net) on Wednesday across all languages, bringing its total collection to an estimated Rs 24.71 crore.

Box Office Collection Break Down

Despite opening with a promising Rs 5.5 crore on Day 1, the film has since witnessed fluctuations in daily earnings. After a decent weekend haul of Rs 20.1 crore, Monday brought a significant dip to Rs 1.66 crore, followed by a marginal growth on Tuesday with Rs 1.9 crore. Wednesday’s earnings suggested a further decline in numbers, considering that the movie recorded its lowest collection to date.

Tough Competition

While the film has found moderate success at the Indian box office, it must be noted that it can be linked to the film facing stiff competition from the Bollywood blockbusters like ‘Saiyaara’, which is on its way to the Rs 300 crore mark. Additionally, the animated epic ‘Mahavatar Narsimha’ has also eaten into the superhero film’s market share, especially in regional circuits.

Hollywood Films In India

With just one day left to end its first week, ‘The Fantastic Four’ is expected to cross the Rs 25 crore mark in India, though its long-term performance might not be able to match the success of recent Hollywood releases like the DC superhero film ‘Superman’ which earned Rs 35 crore by the end of week 1 and the dino film ‘Jurassic World Rebirth’, which lapped up an impressive Rs 56.25 crore in its first week, with an estiamted Rs 26.1 crore raked in, just from its English shows.Directed by Matt Shakman, ‘The Fantastic Four: First Steps ‘stars Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Julia Garner, Sarah Niles, and Ralph Ineson. The film marks the introduction of Marvel’s First Family in the MCU. The film is also crutical as it sets the ball rolling for the next big blockbusters ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ and ‘Avengers: Secret Wars’.
