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

Well there is no way Infinity War would make more money domestically then overseas so that is a very poor example.   But I stand by what I said earlier if a movie makes less then 50% of its total box office from overseas then it under-performed overseas especially if it was released pretty much in every major overseas territory like Black Panther was.  Even most movies that bombed recently managed to make more then 50% of their box office from overseas.

Then, you would be wrong.  If you want to say anything, it overperformed in America because of the cultural impact it had.  The last standalone film we got in the MCU was Thor 3.  If the BP continues outperforming the Avengers by 11.2%, and the FBO percentage holds, it will make ~$652.79M at the FBO.  This would mean it outperformed Thor 3 by 21.1% at the FBO.  Seems impressive, right?  Now, look at the DBO.  BP probably has another ~$20M+ to make, but it has already outperformed Thor 3 by 114%, and looks to finish 120% over it.
