Despite positive reviews and a great Rotten Tomatoes score, Fantastic Four: First Steps had a massive second weekend drop at the global box office

Fantastic Four First Steps ending.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps has suffered a pretty significant drop at the global box office in just its second week – and it's possible that superhero fatigue is truly and finally upon us.

According to Variety, the new Marvel film saw a 66% drop in its second weekend, earning just $40 million from 4,125 theaters. The film opened with $117.6 million, against an estimated budget of over $200 million. As it stands, the film has earned a total of $386 million globally, which is great, but not great for Marvel, which has produced some of the highest-grossing films of all time with Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame each bringing in a cool $2 billion.
