The first installment of the rebooted franchise was the center of a lot of negativity before the movie had been released. Rumors swirled that there was a conflict between producers and director Josh Trank. The movie had a lot of reshoots and was torn apart by critics.
Fantastic Four has only managed to make a little under $167 million worldwide and cost $120 million to make. Rupert Murdoch, the executive chairman at Fox, even singled out the film as the main reason that Fox had a lower revenue than predicted for 2015.
