As of mid-Friday, estimates suggest an opening day haul of around $56 million, including the $24 million in previews. This marks a remarkable achievement, as it puts the film on par with Superman’s domestic opening day of $56.5 million.

First Steps is off to a strong start at the North American box office, with an estimated $23 million Thursday that means the latest Marvel Studios movie is pacing ahead of Superman.

The dust has yet to settle on Marvel’s latest MCU entry, but Fantastic Four: First Steps is off to a strong start this weekend. In terms of critical reception, it’s doing about the same as James Gunn’s Superman, at least as far as Rotten Tomatoes is concerned.
