What the expert says...
Fantastic Four Slips After Disappointing Opening
Despite heavy marketing and a familiar franchise, Marvel’s latest reboot The Fantastic Four: First Steps hasn’t impressed at the global box office out the gate.
Originally expected to challenge for the top, it now sits at 14/1, suggesting it may be more of a mid-tier success.
Meanwhile, James Cameron’s Avatar: Fire and Ash remains firmly second favourite at 7/4, with anticipation for the sequel to 2022’s billion-dollar earner still sky-high, particularly in Western and streaming-heavy markets.
Zootopia 2 (12/1), Wicked: For Good (16/1), and Superman (18/1) round out the field as possible surprises, depending on word of mouth and international rollout strategy.
