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.

Ladies and gentlemen, the 'optimist/pessimist' dichotomy, personified. 

Optimists tend to see it as it OVER-performed domestically, while pessimists look at it and say it underperformed internationally. 

In reality, it did amazingly well, is one of the top 10 grossing films of all time, was a bonafide cultural phenomenon, has outstanding reviews, and is a smash hit no matter what angle you look at it. Only a negative person would look at this and try to find a way to devalue its success. 

Don't be a pessimist, you'll only end up sad.
