Fantastic Four’s Third Weekend Falls Below Ant-Man’s Sixth Weekend

It is 20th Century Fox’s Fantastic Four that is shrinking to the competition, not Marvel’s Ant-Man.

In its sixth week in release, Ant-Man will claim eight-place at the North American box office with $4.1M. While the not-so-Fantastic Four clings to tenth-place in its third weekend with $3.65M. Ant-Man only dropped 26% from last week, while Fantastic Four plummeted 56%.

Ant-Man‘s domestic total is now $164.5M, which ranks 31st among all superhero films, passing 1992’s Batman Returns ($162.8M).Fantastic Four‘s domestic total is now at $49.5M, which ranks 65th among all superhero films, passing 2010’s Kick-Ass ($48M).

Armed with the astonishing ability to shrink in scale but increase in strength, con-man Scott Lang must embrace his inner-hero and help his mentor, Dr. Hank Pym, protect the secret behind his spectacular Ant-Man suit from a new generation of towering threats. Against seemingly insurmountable obstacles, Pym and Lang must plan and pull off a heist that will save the world.
