2 min read

It was followed by "Superman" with $24.9 million, then "Jurassic World Rebirth" with $13 million. Note that the currently available data doesn't precisely confirm whether this is specifically "this weekend's" chart, as sources also included figures for other, different dates.
Introduction
The US box office saw strong competition this week among several films, led by Marvel's new superhero movie. Before getting into details, it's worth noting that the currently available data has some overlap between different dates, which we'll clarify throughout the article.
"The Fantastic Four: First Steps" Tops the Chart
According to data dated July 24, 2026, "The Fantastic Four: First Steps" took the No. 1 spot with $118 million in its opening weekend. The film, produced by Disney, is considered a strong debut compared to the other films playing during the same period.
Other Top-Performing Films
Behind "Fantastic Four" came "Superman" with $24.9 million and a cumulative total of $289.5 million. Next was "Jurassic World Rebirth" with $13 million and a cumulative total of $301.5 million. Also on the list was "F1: The Movie" with $6.2 million and a cumulative total of $165.6 million, and "Smurfs" with $5.4 million and a cumulative total of $22.8 million.
Rest of the Chart
Other films that appeared on the same chart included "I Know What You Did Last Summer" with $5.1 million, "How to Train Your Dragon" with $2.8 million and a cumulative total of $257 million, "Eddington" with $1.7 million, "Saiyaara" with $1.3 million, and finally "Oh, Hi!" with $1.1 million in its opening weekend.
"Disclosure Day" Continues to Hold On
Among the films still holding on despite a long run, "Disclosure Day" landed in fifth place with $6.0 million, down 27% from the previous week. The film is playing in 2,702 theaters, averaging $2,221 per theater, with a cumulative total of $105.312 million over 24 weeks of release.
An Important Note on Timing Accuracy
According to available sources, there's some inconsistency in pinpointing exactly which weekend this data refers to. The clearest and most detailed source is dated July 24, 2026, but another source references data from January 2-4, 2026, showing weekly revenue of $41 million and a cumulative total of $321 million — which appears to be an entirely different week. There's no full confirmation yet that this data corresponds to the exact week in question.
Missing Audience Reception Data
It's important to note that the currently available data covers box office revenue only, with no confirmed figures on audience or critic reception, such as Rotten Tomatoes scores, CinemaScore grades, or PostTrak surveys. Covering audience and critic reaction would require additional dedicated sources.
