Gross of Franchise Entertainment Research. &quot;&#x27;Fantastic Four&#x27; was a modest and struggling superhero series; it just caught up with the biggest and the best.&quot;&quot;Superman,&quot; the latest big-budget action film featuring the iconic superhero from Warner Bros. and DC Studios, slipped to second place at $24.9 million, Exhibitor Relations said.That puts the global take of the film, starring David Corenswet as the Man of Steel, over the $500 million mark.&quot;Jurassic World: Rebirth&quot; -- the latest installment in the blockbuster dinosaur saga -- finished in third place at $13 million. Its worldwide total stands at $672.5 million.The Universal film, starring Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey and Mahershala Ali, takes viewers to an abandoned island research facility, where secrets -- and genetically mutated dinosaurs -- are lurking.&quot;F1: The Movie,&quot; the Apple and Warner Bros. flick starring Brad Pitt as a washed-up Formula One driver who gets one last shot at redemption, moved up to fourth place at $6.2 million.&quot;Smurfs,&quot; the latest film featuring the adorable blue creatures and starring Rihanna as Smurfette, slipped to fifth place in only its second week in theaters with $5.4 million in North American ticket sales.&quot;The box office is on an excellent run that started two weeks ago,&quot; Gross said.&quot;These are not the good old days, but &#x27;Fantastic Four&#x27; and &#x27;Superman&#x27; are performing extremely well. Superheroes are showing some swagger, and it&#x27;s good news for the industry.&quot;<div> </div>Rounding out the top 10 were:&quot;I Know What You Did Last Summer&quot; ($5.1 million)&quot;How to Train Your Dragon&quot; ($2.8 million)&quot;Eddington&quot; ($1.7 million)&quot;Saiyaara&quot; ($1.3 million)&quot;Oh, Hi!&quot; ($1.1 million)<div>© Agence France-Presse</div>
