A new release quickly ended The Fantastic Four: First Steps‘ run as the most-watched streaming film. The body swap comedy took over in just one day.
The movie The Fantastic Four: First Steps launched Phase Six of the Marvel Cinematic Universe on July 25th. While it was the first big-screen adaptation of Marvel’s First Family and received generally positive feedback with a solid performance in theaters, it didn’t stay at the top of the charts for long. According to FlixPatrol, Freakier Friday has quickly become the more popular choice.
The follow-up to the beloved 2003 film Freaky Friday premiered on November 12th, a few months after its initial release on August 8th. It quickly became a streaming sensation, reaching the top spot in 12 countries within just one day. After a complete update from FlixPatrol two days later, Freakier Friday proved to be a hit in an impressive 61 countries.
While The Fantastic Four: First Steps quickly dropped from the number one spot after just one week – even in the U.S. – the battle for the top movie is far from over. Both new films are strong contenders and will likely continue to compete for the highest position.
The sequel, Freakier Friday, reunited Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan, reprising their roles as Tess and Anna. This time, the body-switching magic expanded to include a new generation: Anna’s daughter and her future stepdaughter also get swapped!
Freakier Friday Divided the Critics and the Audience in a Good Way
While the 2003 film has become a beloved classic, it wasn’t without flaws. The body-swap comedy reflected the attitudes of its time and contained some questionable elements. Critics generally liked it, giving it an 88% rating and a ‘Certified Fresh’ label, but audiences were less impressed, with a score of only 58% on the Popcornmeter. Despite its imperfections, the film was popular enough to warrant a sequel.
The second film received mixed reactions from critics and viewers, but still earned enough positive feedback to be labeled ‘Certified Fresh’ and ‘Verified Hot’. It holds a 74% rating from critics who gave it the ‘Certified Fresh’ designation, and an even higher 91% rating from those who marked it as ‘Verified Hot’.
Critics are calling Freakier Friday a charming and heartwarming family film, full of nostalgic fun. They praise the performances of Curtis and Lohan for creating a cozy and playfully spooky atmosphere.
The review highlights how funny, entertaining, and joyful the movie is. It especially praises the chemistry between Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan, noting it evokes fond memories for millennial viewers.
Freakier Friday and The Fantastic Four: First Steps are streaming on Disney+.
