Marvel's The Fantastic Four: First Steps hit the theatres on Friday, July 25. The superhero film has opened to positive reviews and had a modest start at the Indian box office. It has failed to beat the opening day collections of James Gunn's Superman, Brad Pitt starrer F1 and Scarlett Johansson's Jurassic World Rebirth.

First Steps is off to a strong start at the North American box office, with an estimated $23 million Thursday that means the latest Marvel Studios movie is pacing ahead of Superman.
