In the latest battle for box office supremacy, stumbling Superman didn’t stand a chance.
Marvel Studios’ latest superhero flick, “The Fantastic Four: First Steps,” clobbered the box office competition on Friday, reporting first-day ticket sales of $57 million, according to The Numbers.
The Pedro Pascal-helmed film marks the beginning of the next phase in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The film focuses on the iconic superhero team — Mr. Fantastic, Sue Storm, the Human Torch, and the Thing — as they try to save Earth from one of Marvel Comics’ strongest super villians, Galactus.
“The Fantastic Four: First Steps” outperformed DC Studios’ “Superman” on Friday by about $50 million.
The latest “Fantastic Four” flick “marks a slight improvement from the preceding trilogy of terror,” The Post noted.
During its second Friday in cinemas, James Gunn’s “Superman” generated ticket sales of $7.1 million, for a two-week total of $271 million.
“Jurassic World Rebirth” followed in third place, with sales of $3.6 million on Friday, its fourth in theaters.
Brad Pitt’s “F1: The Movie” rose one spot to No. 4 with $1.8 million in tickets sold
Rounding out the top 5 was “Smurfs,” which The Post called “one of the worst movies of the year,” with a $1.7 million take on Friday.
The animated musical fantasy reboot features the voices of Rihanna, James Corden, Jimmy Kimmel, Octavia Spencer, Kurt Russell and John Goodman.
