Head-spinningly gorgeous in every frame, if also head-scratchingly impenetrable in many scenes (at least for some Western audiences), this mix of a 16th century novel, Chinese mythology and breathtaking digital imagery is already a worldwide box-office juggernaut. It's taken in about $2 billion worldwide (more than Inside Out 2, Hollywood's top-grossing animated film). And the film is likely to win new fans, as it's only now being released in the U.S. with an English voice cast.
Marvel's first family, the Fantastic Four, achieved box office success with 'Fantastic Four: First Steps,' earning $118 million in its opening weekend and $218 million worldwide.
Joseph Kosinski, the film's director, stated that whether 'F1' gets a sequel hinges on audience reception, emphasizing the collaborative relationship with viewers.
United Passions, the FIFA biopic, exemplified cinematic disaster with record-low box office takings and scathing reviews, marking it as a byword for corporate excess.
