    The way it’s been performing signals that the GA doesn’t like this film. Despite having the same audience score as Superman (A-) it’s performing like some of Marvel’s worst received films like Thor: Love and Thunder. Really speaks to how much of a damaged brand Marvel has become. Superman will easily beat it which I guess might mean we’re about to flip the tables?

      I don't follow BO stuff more than peripherally at best (is that a word?) and so usually isn't second weeks about 50%? 66% seems like a very big number that I can't recall the last time I saw that!

    As a big comics fan, my personal metric for success is if I want to go see it a second time in theaters. Quickly did so for Superman, but I had no desire to see FF again.

    When people ask me if they should go see FF I tell them to wait for streaming and go see Superman instead. Wish that weren’t the case since I’m a Marvel fan at heart, but it’s just a better movie.

      It's the best Fantastic Four movie to date. Unfortunately, that doesn't mean it's a good movie.

      I wouldn't mind see him doing something different, but I'm tired of him on leading action roles. He's great at them, but.

        sometimes we get one actor who is in everything for a few months and it’s this big push — but for PP it’s pretty much between since Narcos or Game of Thrones. It would be easier to ignore if he...

        It would be easier to ignore if he wasn’t so charming and good in everything
