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.

Box Office Milestone: ‘Superman’ Becomes First DC Pic in Years to Soar Past $300M Domestically

In a second heroic feat, the film has also passed up Zack Snyder's solo Superman pic 'Man of Steel' and will soon overtake 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.'

www.hollywoodreporter.com

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.

Didn't see that coming.

Marvel will see a big 2026 with Spider-Man: Brand New Day and Avengers: Doomsday and both will likely be billion dollar films. This might convince Disney that the MCU is safe but lets face the elephant in the room - it's really not. Fatigue, saturation and inconsistent quality has damaged the brand.

Spider-Man 2nd trilogy will be big business and likely remain the cash cow of Marvel.
Avengers 4/5 while very profitable will make a lot less than 3/4.

I could see a new X-Men film being a big hit as any Deadpool 4 but so much of the rest of the franchise is on life support now. They could do with focusing on the core big hitters after Avengers 5 and then just have a god dam rest before a big reboot years down the line.

Yep. And Warner Brothers treatment of the DC Universe has been even less financially successful and overall quality even less consistent than Disney's MCU.

I'm sure Warner Bros will pull the plug with James Gunn's reboot of the DC film universe as soon as one of the his new films really underperform.

I also don't think Disney will see as much success as they are expecting with an MCU reboot after the MCU Film Secret Wars.

A constant two decades of decent comic book films (when compared to the majority of comic book based films of the '70s to the early 90s) have definitely satusfied demand to the point they aren't considered special to the point of wanting to see them in the theater. More people will now wait until they hit the streaming services rather than come to see them at the theaters.
