Superman is outperforming Rebirth's first three weeks domestic box office, at this point, while JWR's overseas box office is roughly twice Supes'.

Dinos > Capes.

China just has really upped their own film market to the point that there is little interest in Hollywood movies anymore.

This is something that the major studios have to come to grips with in the coming years, and probably adjust budgets and/or find new revenue streams. Probably even more licencing deals.
There is some growing resistance to American movie ideas in China; I have in-laws in the country, and of the family I know socially, they are not happy fans of the various ideologies they believe are in American entertainment. Among that number, there are feelings bordering straight-up resentment. While that's a small sample of the Chinese moviegoing market, one could say unless American-based entertainment companies attempt to produce content that's more universal in its essence (read: not a hard, American perspective), that market may simply dry up in the coming years.

This makes the industry's ideal next step exceedingly obvious.

CAPES VS DINOS
 
Up until yesterday's earnings, Superman's first days still outperform the Fantastic Four--and the FF's international numbers percentage has fallen to 41% of total earnings. That's on par with what Superman did.

Well, international updates tend to post online days after the domestic.

But yeah, FF has the same overseas box office problem that Superman and a number of other films have had to deal with, recently. The money's not there. Studios will have to begin managing properties with that in mind.
 

Superman has leapt past the $300 million mark at the domestic box office in less than three weeks in a major milestone for James Gunn and Peter Safran’s DC Studios.

The pic crossed the $300 million mark early Thursday thanks to East Coast matinées after finishing Wednesday with a domestic tally of $299.7 million. It’s the first DC pic release to achieve the milestone since The Batman in 2022. That pic topped out at $369.2 million by the end of its run, not adjusted for inflation.
In a second milestone, Superman has already passed up the entire lifetime of Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel, which topped out at $291 million domestically in 2013, not adjusted. That film was the last solo Superman movie; in 2016, Snyder’s sequel Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice grossed $330.4 million domestically. (The latest Superman pic will soon overtake Dawn of Justice as well.) Globally, Superman has already cleared $500 million.
