Marvel's "The Fantastic Four: First Steps" Now Sits as 2025's Top First-Day Ticket Pre-Seller at Fandango

But will they make "Rebirth" Go Extinct at the Box Office?

Fandango has shared that Marvel’s The Fantastic Four: First Steps has become the top first-day ticket pre-seller of the year, outperforming other, arguably more anticipated (based on Fandango’s own surveys) titles of the year.

What’s Happening:

  • Fandango has announced that the upcoming film from Marvel Studios, The Fantastic Four: First Steps, has become its top first-day ticket pre-seller of 2025, outperforming all other titles this year.
  • The movie is the #2 most anticipated movie of the summer, behind Jurassic World Rebirth, with the film starring Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards (AKA Mr. Fantastic) ranking as the #2 most anticipated performance, behind Scarlett Johansson in the aforementioned Jurassic World Rebirth, according to Fandango surveys.
  • It is also worth noting that Fandango doesn’t disclose the exact number of advance tickets sold.

  • Set against the vibrant backdrop of a 1960s-inspired, retro-futuristic world, The Fantastic Four: First Steps introduces Marvel’s First Family (Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic, Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm/Invisible Woman, Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm/Human Torch, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm/The Thing) as they face their most daunting challenge yet.
  • The film releases in theaters on Friday, July 25, 2025, and you can add to Fandango’s stats, heading over to their site to get your tickets now.

Boffo Box Office:

  • With the news that The Fantastic Four: First Steps has set records already, this is just another notch in Disney’s box office belt for the year.
  • Despite The Fantastic Four: First Steps coming in #2 in the aforementioned surveys, they have outperformed Jurassic World Rebirth ticket sales that went on sale on May 20th, ahead of a July 2nd theatrical release.
  • In another arm of The Walt Disney Company, Lilo & Stitch took the #2 spot of highest grossing movies of the year thus far, helping push Marvel’s parent company into the billion-dollar threshold for another consecutive year. This take also includes Marvel’s Thunderbolts*/*New Avengers, and the earlier Captain America: Brave New World.
  • With this advance ticket record, it seems that The Fantastic Four: First Steps will only help that number continue to grow for the Walt Disney Company.
