It is an interesting one - it is a fun popcorn movie (overall) but clearly international audiences just not that interested.
Next weekend will show us how front loaded box office was.
A Tom Cruise and Nolan movie only comes to VOD after 10-15 weeks. Other movies, if they flop at the box office, come to VOD after 2-3 weeks, and if they're successful, they come to VOD after 5-6 weeks.
So the box office on this continues to be interesting - in every update I see, the domestic box office beats predictions and is higher and higher while international ones go lower and lower...
There is a good chance that internationally it is beaten by Black Adam.

If Superman's international earnings are lukewarm, VOD schedule should be in the 5-6 range.
'F1' Overtakes the Tim Burton Remake that Sent Roger Ebert Into a Spiral at the Global Box Office
F1 isn't slowing down yet at the box office, now passing one of Tim Burton's most notorious remakes.

The film opened with a record opening but didn't hold up well. This summer's winners will be Final Destination Bloodlines, JW, and How to Train Your Dragon. Perhaps if the film is well-received and its budget doesn't exceed $50 million, Naked Gun will do well at the box office. But I'm not so sure about that.
I thought non-Americans loved superhero movies? Yet they're not turning up for Superman.
Is it just a Marvel thing or what?

With a few exceptions, international markets are increasingly soft on Superhero films.
