Marvel's "Fantastic Four: First Steps" achieved a phenomenal $218 million global opening, exceeding initial projections.
While "Superman" had a slightly larger global debut, "Fantastic Four" outperformed it internationally.
Other major films, including "Superman" and "F1," reached impressive box-office milestones, both exceeding $500 million.
This success suggests a resurgence for Disney and Marvel after some recent box office inconsistencies.
