“Fantastic Four” is struggling to find its footing at the box office this weekend, suggesting that not even superheroes are immune to poor reviews. Early estimates show the 20th Century Fox release struggling to hit $30 million for the weekend, which is well below the anticipated mid-$40 million mark. Should the estimates keep plummeting, the opening could prove disastrous for the studio, which spent $120 million on the pic. Thursday night previews for “Fantastic Four” pulled in a lukewarm $2.7 million at 2,900 locations. The last major superhero release to premiere under $35 million was Sony’s “The Green Hornet” in 2011 ($33.5 million). In addition to “Fantastic Four’s” not-so-fantastic 9% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, a damning tweet from the film’s own director, Josh Trank, suggested that even he was disappointed with the final cut. Kate Mara, Michael B. Jordan, Jamie Bell and Miles Teller star in the reboot.

I hope they still make a sequel, the franchise with this cast has potential it just needs a new director/writers to take over. If Fox does move forward with a sequel then they should push the date back from 2017 to 2018 and try and fix this because I will NOT be here for a Spider-Man situation and have this franchise be rebooted 3 times within the past 10 years
