From ‘Superman’ in ‘Fantastic Four,’ It’s the worst special superhero year since 2011 years

We can talk about the fatigue of superhero not to be a thing, because those who create superhero movies, but here in 2025. years? There are significant evidence that really happens, no matter how well the movies liked. They earn far less than they are used to, and that is especially true abroad in places like Asia. Many countries like China are just … done with this genre.

With Superman and Fantastic four Slowing down in creeping in their earnings, now we can say that it is the worst year for the earnings for SUPERHERRORO films since 2011, 14 years ago, and when the MCU was first spilled with movies Torrian and Captain America and X-Men: First Class. But None of them brought $ 700 millionAnd now it is important for 2025. years. He just barely gave $ 600 million. Here are the total values, together with some other relevant information.

• Superman – 604 million dollars, 42% of international, 83% critics, 90% of the result of the audience
• Fantastic Four: First steps – $ 490 million, 47.5% International, 87% Critical Score, 91% of the audience result
• Captain America: The Brave New World – 415 million dollars, 51.7% International, 46% critical rating, 76% of the audience result
• Thunderbolts – $ 382 million, 50.2% International, 88% Critical Score, 93% of the review of the audience

Which points do I make me here? Again, Superman is the only movie to cross as many as $ 500 million Fantastic four Can he look for there. And this performance is despite at least Superman, Fantastic Four and Thunder They were very, very well liked critics and fans who actually saw them. It was just … fewer fans who actually saw them. These are not bad movies!

An international percentage may look fine with most of the hovering about 50%. But keep in mind that it is the whole rest of the world. Choose several examples in the cherry, Avengers: Endgame had 69.3% of international earnings. Spider-Man: No chance of home had 57% of international earnings and so is it Doctor odd and multiverse madness. Famous flop Marvels had 59% of international. That 42% for Superman is particularly brutalAnd James Gunn even blamed the anti-American feeling about it. Although, Captain “America”, was almost 10% higher than that.

2026 is a big test. Spider-Man: Brand new day It should be easily earned by a billion dollars, and if it doesn’t, it’s even more evidence that things are crushing. Avengers: Doomsdai It’s supposedly at the end of the year and that is too necessary to be a huge account. That said this year was too A test with a big new DCU Superman Movie Out and Arrival Extremely Important Fantastic four. But again, record orders. We will see if they can be improved here, but it seems that the golden age simply slides in silver or copper.
