Context and cast

The success of Freakier Friday draws on the franchise's strong nostalgic appeal and the recognizable concept of body swapping involving different generations of the same family. The cast includes Jamie Lee Curtis, Lindsay Lohan, Julia Butters e Sophia Hammons.

Now The Fantastic Four: First Steps brought together the cast of superheroes with Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn e Ebon Moss-Bachrach. Even with the big names, the movie failed to take the lead in streaming in the face of the momentum of intergenerational comedy.

Ticket office and performance

Freakier Friday accumulated about US$153 million at the worldwide box office, an indicator of interest that was reflected in its reception on streaming. The figures suggest that nostalgia, concept recognition and family appeal were key to the title's rapid rise in the Disney Plus.

Conclusion

In the short fight for the top of the Disney Plus, Freakier Friday took the crown, stealing first place from The Fantastic Four: First Steps. The lesson is clear: recognizable concept and emotional appeal can override the blockbuster factor in the streaming environment, at least for now.
