Box Office Comparison
This places Fantastic Four in close competition with Thunderbolts, which grossed over $382 million in theaters. While there is a possibility for Fantastic Four to surpass Thunderbolts, falling below or near the $500 million mark may not meet the desired expectations set by Marvel Studios for the film.
