About your Civil War comment, consider this stat for domestic gross:

"Now, at $400 million, Black Panther is already the fifth-highest grossing MCU movie ever, and it’ll take only a few more days for the movie to surpass Captain America: Civil War ($408 million) and Iron Man 3 ($409 million) domestically."

Its about to beat the entire domestic gross of Civil War and Iron man 3 in about 2 weeks time.  Just stop to think about that.  We have about another 10 weeks to go... 

But my comment was about international gross, not domestic gross. That was my point. It can't beat The Avengers by "only" doing incredible in the US - it has to be incredible internationally as well. Currently, it's "just" doing very well internationally, not incredible.

I'd be more than happy to be wrong though, I loved the movie.

I understand your point.  I am saying that the US has the potential to make up for their lower overall international gross.    We are all waiting with baited breath to see what happens in China,  but the domestic market will give it one hell of a boost.   Think of the US as Tifa in Advent Children where she throws up Cloud to kill Bahumat and think of China as Aerith (giving Cloud that extra nudge). 

USA be like:
