Fantastic Four Narrowly Misses $250M Milestone, Surpasses Disney's Snow White
1 Aug
Summary
- Fantastic Four: First Steps missed $250M global box office by a small margin
- Outperformed Disney's Snow White, which struggled at the box office
- Marvel Studios and Disney both faced financial losses in 2025
As of August 1st, 2025, the latest Marvel Studios release, The Fantastic Four: First Steps, has fallen just short of the $250 million global box office milestone. The film collected $249.9 million worldwide in its first few weeks, surpassing the total earnings of Disney's Snow White remake, which struggled to reach $205.67 million globally.
This year has been a mixed bag for both Marvel Studios, which is part of the Disney empire, and Disney itself. While Disney suffered a major flop with Snow White, the studio found success with the animated film Lilo & Stitch, which crossed the $1 billion mark worldwide. Marvel Studios, on the other hand, has been in need of a savior, and The Fantastic Four: First Steps may be the film to help them regain their footing.
Despite narrowly missing the $250 million target, The Fantastic Four: First Steps has already become the 12th highest-grossing Hollywood film of 2025. The movie's future remains uncertain, as it may face a box office slump in the coming weeks. However, with a reported budget of $200 million, the film only needs to reach around $500 million to break even, a milestone that should be within reach given its strong start.
