Fantastic Four tickets are now on sale, with a tweet going viral on X that, due to high demand, ticket sites have been crashing.
However, when actually checking ticket sites and sales, it reveals the sites are up and running fine, and that in reality, not a lot of Fantastic Four tickets have been sold (yet?).
Worth a mention is that the claim comes from the same X account who tweeted trans actor Hunter Schafer is being eyed to play Princess Zelda in Nintendo’s upcoming live-action Zelda movie, which looks to be fake news as well.
There’s also a community note on the tweet that states, “Ticket sites are not crashing and are running just fine.”
Update: It’s also being claimed by other accounts that the AMC app crashed as a result of high demand. However, if the app really crashed, it doesn’t look to be due to high demand, as again, checking ticket sales reveals not a lot have been sold.
Update #2: People are citing “down detector” as proof that the movie websites went down because of Fantastic Four ticket sales. However, it shows only 12 people reported it, which doesn’t actually mean the site/s went down.

I recently purchased tickets to my local Regal RPX theater and things went smooth. I was actually only the second person to buy tickets for the Thursday 2pm debut screening. Others on X are tweeting more of the same, that Fantastic Four tickets aren’t exactly selling out.

We can guess the X account is desperate for reach on X, as X and other social media sites reward users monetarily regardless of the content.
As I tweeted, it could also be possible the account is also a Marvel shill account trying to create fake FOMO in the hopes fans will scoop up tickets ASAP for fear of missing out. Looks desperate. And it doesn’t look to be exactly working.
Will Fantastic Four flop?
It’s still too early to know whether or not Fantastic Four will flop. We’ll see if the trades report on the first 24-hour ticket sales. Long-range box office estimates also have yet to come in.
That said, it recently has been learned Kevin Feige and Marvel Studios will be skipping Comic-Con, which lines up with when FF gets released. That doesn’t exactly show a big sign of confidence.
Feige also moved Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars further away from the release of not only Fantastic Four, but the major busts of both Thunderbolts and Captain America: Brave New World.
Despite rebranding to “New Avengers,” things are so bad for Thunderbolts that the flick is presently coming in as the second-worst performing MCU movie at the box office, only better than The Marvels. So that means less than Eternals, and as of now, Thunderbolts is looking like it will come in under $400 million worldwide and lose at least $100M.
Likewise for Captain America: Brave New World, Disney named the film in its recent investor report as a big loss, along with Snow White. Yikes.
It also doesn’t help that Fantastic Four looks to be another “M She U” movie. You think Feige would have learned from the failure of The Marvels, and the MCU on Disney+. Nope. It could be possible Disney/Marvel got the DEI money (again?) for Fantastic Four as reports offer it’s all about Vanessa Kirby’s Sue Storm being the leader of the team and the world, and of course, the female Silver Surfer.
The Fantastic Four: First Steps arrives in theaters on July 25.
