A 78% drop is pretty epic. I put 10% of the blame on Trank and 90% on Fox simply because it was such an ill-informed decision from the very beginning. I do understand that they wanted to hold onto the franchise and see if they could mine it for anything approaching Marvel money. The problem was that they were just such d!cks about it. They alienated the core fanbase out of the gate and spit in Marvel's face on the overall direction. So Marvel pulled all support. It was a risky move on Marvel's part to basically "disappear" the FF, but hopefully it will pay off. Still Fox can recoup the losses simply by selling back to Marvel, or they can enter a Sony type deal. Either way I'm just hoping to finally see a great looking Fantastic Four in the Marvel cinematic universe. They could show up as early as Avengers: Infinity I, have an expanded role in II and then their own movie in 2020.
Right now my FF cast suggestions would be:
David Tenant or Richard Armitage as Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic (original choice Jeff Goldblume is too old now. Benedict Cumberbatch is Dr. Strange)
Yvonne Stranzinski or Alice Eve as Sue Storm (original choice was Charlize Theron)
Terry Crews/CGI as the Thing (sure there's be the usual whining from the trolls but he'd be perfect)
Blonde Teen Heartthrob as Johnny Storm/Human Torch (need someone 16-17 who can bring in the young girls and age with the franchise)

Armitage and Eve are pretty good. Crews will repeat the same mistake as Fan4stic. Just stick visually with the source, the hard part has been done just follow the comic book road map.
Fox cannot sell back what they do not own.
Fox does not own fantastic four
Only Constantin films can sell back

The rights revert back to Disney if they don't make a film, am I right about that? What if they use the F4 as side characters, does that count?
I think it has to be a full movie.
They even have to have a certain budget. It can't be too low or something so that they don't do what they did in the 90s
Wow, Green Lantern was a financial disaster and FF is making less than HALF of what GL did:
Green Lantern 8-Day Total: $76,955,507
Fantastic Four 8-Day Total: $36,361,000
Is this the place where I confess that I liked Green Lantern?
I think Fox would be wise to release this to video with both the theatrical and Trank's version. Maybe they'll get enough sales from curious people to break even.
$8 million second weekend for FF.
And man, Armie Hammer really is box office poison. Man from U.N.C.L.E. only made $13.5 million.

But worldwide 100 million. I guess FF will end his run at 180/190 million worldwide.
Greatest Box-Office Bombs, Disasters and Flops
The 13th Warrior (1999) Estimated Losses $70-130
47 Ronin (2013) Estimated Losses $150
Mars Needs Moms (2011) Estimated Losses $130.5
but....
The Adventures of Pluto Nash (2002)
Budget: $120 mil.
Box Office? 7 Million Worldwide ................

I don't think I ever even heard of "Mars Needs Moms." Pretty crazy that it dropped so much after such an abysmal first week. Yikes.
Wow! Didn't expect this to be on there. One of the most underrated movies in my opinion. Those other movies are just brutally awful.
Disney has sure swept it under the rug. It came out between Tangled and Wreck-It Ralph.

The failure of this movie resulted in John Carter of Mars having its title shortened. It also lead Robert Zemeckis to abandon his Beatles tribute film which would have been another 3D actors style feature.
I read earlier today Fantastic Four will make $8m domestic for this entire WEEKEND. This is only the second weekend!!! Holy s--t!!!!
