Enthusiasts of cinema aren’t merely content with staying updated on fresh releases; they also derive pleasure from revisiting classic titles. When a notable new film is playing in cinemas, it’s usual for individuals to search for similar movies at home to satisfy their craving. For instance, during the time when Disney’s live-action remake of Lilo & Stitch was dominating box office sales, the demand for various animated Lilo & Stitch content on Disney+ significantly increased. Another popular animated production from Disney is currently experiencing a similar surge in popularity on the streaming platform, and it’s likely due to the basic concept sharing resemblance with the latest Marvel film.
Based on data from FlixPatrol, which monitors the popularity of movies and TV shows on streaming platforms, The Incredibles (2004) and its sequel, Incredibles 2 (2018), are currently among the Top 10 most-watched films on Disney+. In fact, Incredibles 2 has secured the top spot, surpassing Freaky Friday. The original Incredibles film ranks third, outperforming titles like The Amateur and Snow White. This surge in popularity may be due to the similarities between these superhero flicks and The Fantastic Four: First Steps.
The Fantastic Four: First Steps Has Made The Incredibles A Hit on Streaming
In the first part of July, FlixPatrol listed “The Incredibles” as the ninth most-watched movie on Disney+, while “Incredibles 2” didn’t make it into the Top 10. However, since then, viewings for both Incredibles films have seen a significant increase on Disney+. It’s noteworthy that this surge in popularity has happened around the same time as the release of “The Fantastic Four: First Footsteps,” which is now showing in cinemas. The newest addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe premiered on July 25th.
The movie titled “First Steps” has faced some ups and downs at the box office, experiencing a significant drop in attendance during its second weekend. This dip placed it behind other major summer releases. However, the film was generally well-liked by critics. Interestingly, it’s the only Fantastic Four movie to receive a Certified Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, winning praise for its emotionally compelling and family-oriented storyline. Consequently, viewers have been searching for similar family-centered superhero films following the release of “First Steps“. As it turns out, many are turning to “The Incredibles” as their top choice, a film that has long been compared to Fantastic Four.
Disney+ houses some authentic film adaptations of the Fantastic Four, including the mid-2000s duology that has been reappraised in recent years since its initial release. However, until First Steps appears on the platform, the Incredibles films are generally considered the best alternatives for someone seeking a comparable experience. Similar to First Steps, the emotional heart of the Incredibles series revolves around family dynamics, delving into how each member of the Parr family is affected by their constantly changing situations.
The fact that both films from the Incredibles series are dominating streaming platforms showcases the franchise’s lasting appeal. It’s evident that this is one of Pixar’s most successful franchises, and viewers kept it in mind despite the movies not being adapted from Marvel comics. It’s understandable why Pixar is planning for Incredibles 3, hoping it will achieve similar levels of success upon its release to theaters.
