BOX OFFICE: FANTASTIC FOUR Ends North American Run With Hilariously Dismal Amount

Well, this is embarrassing! Josh Trank's Fantastic Four has now wrapped up its run at the North American box office after a nine week stint and it's final haul - described as "pathetic" by one box office expert - is downright laughable. Why? Hit the jump to find out...

The saga of the Fantastic Four has been a fascinating one. Despite early behind the scenes rumours pointing to trouble for the reboot, an impressive first trailer was all it took for many to understandably conclude that the movie could end up surprising us all by being way better than expected. While subsequent trailers didn't have the same impact, the tide appeared to be turning...until the reviews hit. Despite having the lowest Rotten Tomatoes score we've seen for some time, everyone was shocked to see director Josh Trank take to Twitter the day before the reboot was released to disown in. With an expose revealing all the drama involving the director and studio shortly following, Fantastic Four tanked, and now there's yet another embarrasment for the reboot. After a nine week run, it's made a paltry $56,051,712. That's $10,000 less than what the first Fantastic Four movie made during its opening weekend in 2005! How Fox could ever consider moving forward with a sequel is hard to say, so bring on the Marvel Studios reboot, eh?

What did you expect? You FOXed it up!

After giving up Daredevil so you could do this and keep MS from using characters, you drove it into the ground. You dug hard and buried your worth six feet under.

Just revert the rights so Annhilation can be done correctly on screen and Marvel can finally breathe freely about the Skrulls.

It's incredible that Pixar has done the best version of F4 so far.

This was such a terrible year for CBMs. AOU, Ant-Man, FF were all mediocre. At least 2016 is pretty much guaranteed to be better

Fox will keep talking as if a sequel is going to happen at least through the video release. After that, who knows... perhaps they will reach out to Marvel to see if there's any kind of trade or deal that they'd want to make to get the character rights back early.

There will never be a sequel to this Fantastic Four film, however. Any executive who would greenlight it would be gambling their job. At some point, they have to justify to shareholders why they would invest more money into a failure like that, and there just isn't an acceptable answer to that.

Mara will be fine, Teller will be fine, and Jordan will be fine as well.

But the other dude may have just had his career implode....poor bastard...

I wasn't hyped about this and never really expected it to be a huge hit, but I'd also never have expected it to crash and burn like that. Just what the hell...?!



As sorry as I am for those who were genuinely excited about the movie I cling to the small hope that there was some kind of lesson learned here. It's still possible to make superhero movies that fail dramatically on every level, so everyone should mind keeping a certain quality if they want to avoid another Fant4stic.
