First Steps" held firm at the top of the U.K. and Ireland box office for a second weekend, adding £3 million ($4.1 million) and bringing its total to £15.3 million ($20.4 million), according to Comscore.

The simple and accurate answer is that the general audience does not care much about Fantastic Four, and they have to fight an uphill battle for relevance. No amount of positive reviews or post-credit teases is enough to overcome that. Meanwhile, Superman is DC’s flagship hero and one of the most well-known and admired characters in general.

First Steps is far from a bomb, but its box office performance does raise questions about how Marvel Studios should proceed going forward.
