Which of course just isn't true (well, the sucked is true, but the 'didn't even make back production costs' isn't). Worldwide the movie made a little over $330 million, and for a $100 million dollar budget that's not that bad when compared to other movies of the same caliber. Did it have a chance of coming close to Spider-Man? Of course not -- the Spider-Man fanbase is gigantic in comparison to Fantastic Four, nobody should expect it to be in the same league.
If you compare Fantastic Four to say, Daredevil, Hulk or Ghost Rider you will get a much more realistic feeling of how the movie fared.
Fantastic Four: $330 million worldwide with a $100 million budget.
Ghost Rider: $224 million worldwide with a $110 million budget.
Hulk: $245 million worldwide with a $137 million budget.
Daredevil: $179 million worldwide with a $78 million budget.
