Despite initial estimates which had Fantastic Four opening in the $50 million range, it now looks set to struggle at the North American box office this weekend. After all, it has an embarrassing 9% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes as of right now and even director Josh Trank has distanced himself from the movie. When it opened yesterday evening, the reboot took only $2.7 million, a vast contrast to the $6.4 million which Ant-Man earned last month. Despite that relatively small start, Fantastic Four is still expected to gross $40 million this weekend, meaning it should come out at #1. With a $120 million budget, Fox won't need it to make a lot to ensure a sequel, but it's hard to imagine anyone wanting one! The future of the franchise now remains clear. What do you think?
