Disney's biggest movie in 2025 (and really the entire box office) will be Avatar 3 releasing in December, no question. Everything else is battling for second place.

The first one wasn't actually bad.

BTW, for those that care, Mufasa continues to chug along now at $653M WW likely on its way to close to $700M+ by the end of its run.
So not quite the flatline that some thought just a few weeks ago.

Yea I have a soft spot for the first one. It wasn't some masterpiece, but I did enjoy it. And I still throw my DVD in now and again. The next two, I think, really spoiled it for the first. So now everyone just lumps it in as terrible.The first one wasn't actually bad.

The biggest problem the Fantastic Four movies have had is that they all screw up Doctor Doom and he's the most important character. It would be like adapting Star Wars and screwing up Darth Vader. They appear primed to do it again by making Doom some Tony Stark-variant because they never, ever learn a lesson.

Except they didn't screw him up in the 2005 one, its all the ones that came after. Julian McMahon I thought did a really good job in the 2005 one. It should also be said that all previous outings were under Fox not Disney/Marvel so that also has some bearing on things.
Also until we get the details of the RDJ Doom, we don't know yet if he will indeed be a Stark variant or not (RDJ himself says no so I would take that as confirmation right now that he's not).

The issue is you’re trying to compare it to the MCU under Disney/Marvel. It predates the MCU by 3 years and was done by a completely different company.

Not quite, it had a budget of $40M. So it’s still at least $60M from being in the black, but a good start for the franchise.

Yeah but other than those they all are garbage IMO

You just don’t know how it was pre-MCU, if your profile age is to be believed. Back in the 90s-early 00s it was a different time for comic book movies.
There is a reason why everyone went crazy when Jackman came back as Wolverine in DP&W.
