I don't think it's Scientology; I just think the IPs he's in just aren't as big as the megafranchises.

That's even more to my point though.  A statement was made that Tom Cruise appearing in a movie makes that movie popular.  That may have been the case in the late 80's-early 90's, but that simply isn't true any more.  Look at "The Mummy" franchise for example.  Every single one of the Brendan Fraser films out-grossed the Tom Cruise led reboot from last year at the domestic box office (without even adjusting for inflation).  Granted, there were a lot of things wrong with last years reboot.  But, the Brendan Fraser trilogy took a severe drop in quality after the first one.  So the fact that "The Mummy:  Tomb of the Dragon Emperor", the 3rd Brendan Fraser Mummy film, outgrossed a reboot launching with "Tom Cruise star power" really says something about whether or not that "star power" is actually adding anything to a movie's gross at this point in time.

Weekend estimates are in and Black Panther has now passed $1.31B WW. It is currently 11.1% ahead of Avengers at the DBO. If this continues, it end its run with $692.55M. If the 48.7% that FBO represents holds, then it will finish its WW run with $1.35B.

It did great domestically but it under-performed a bit overseas it should have easily made at least $100 to $200 million more overseas.

It didn't underperform. It's still one of the higher performers for standalone MCU movies. It's just not the event film it is here in the states.

Well to me if a movie makes less then 50% of its total gross from the overseas market then it under-performed overseas. Even The Greatest Showman managed to get 59.2% of its total gross from overseas markets and musicals are way less popular overseas then domestically except for India but the movie didn't have a theatrical run in India.

So if infinity war does 1b in US and 900m rest of world you believe it underperformed? As a movie it would have been a great success. You could say it could have done better but black panther performed very well abroad. Some weird logic you got man. If the discrepancy was bigger then maybe

Have to agree with elazz, here.  That is some poor logic.  The movie became an event film in the US.  At the FBO, it didn't.  It is still one of the largest standalone performers in the MCU.  And I'm pretty damn sure that it is the top performer when it comes to first installments in a standalone series within the MCU.  It, in no way, shape, or form, underperformed.

In the future, don't use the more than 50%, as it really means nothing.  BP is probably going to do ~48.5% of its BO at the FBO, but it is a HUGE success in both markets.  The last Transformers movie made over 78% of its BO at the FBO, but it is seen as a flop, as it didn't quite make back its production+marketing budget.  In fact, BP made more at the FBO than Transformers: TLK did WW.
