20th Century Fox will keep the Fantastic Four
Despite the failure of Fantastic Four, 20th Century Fox has no intention of parting with Marvel comic superheroes in the future. Chris Aronson, head of the studio's rental department, spoke about this in an interview with the NY Times. "We like these heroes and we will figure out what to do with them in the future," he said. As for the extremely uncertain start of the movie at home, according to Aronson, no one expected such a development of events. "There is not much to talk about here. I have never seen a number of circumstances have such a serious impact on the starting result," he added. Most likely, the studio representative had in mind not only the mostly devastating reviews of professional critics, but also the statements of director Joshua Trank, who blamed the movie's failure on the leadership of 20th Century Fox. As a reminder, under the terms of an agreement with Marvel, which was signed even before the acquisition of Walt Disney by the latter, 20th Century Fox controls the rights to the Fantastic Four heroes and some other characters as long as movies about them are made. p> The new version of Fantastic Four, which is estimated to cost $ 120 million to produce, earned only $ 26 million on its North American premiere weekend.
