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?
