Black Panther did ~640 million internationally, that is better than Hulk (128), Captain America (193), Ant Man (339), Thor (268), Thor 2 (468), Doctor Strange (445), Captain America 2 (454), Iron Man (266), Iron Man 2 (311), Thor 3 (538), Spider-Man (545), Guardians (440), and Guardians 2 (473) The only MCU films Black panther didn't beat Internationally were Iron Man 3, Civil War, and the Avengers 1 & 2. Three of those are massive team up movies. I don't see how you can look at those numbers and state people outside the US hurt its success due to a dominant black cast. People everywhere saw it in droves, it's just in the US it was staggering in success behind only Avatar and Star Wars Force Awakens in gross revenue. That's truly mind boggling numbers. |
It's a real thing. In China, Look at the international poster for 12 Years a Slave (90% Brad Pitt), The Force Awakens (I think Finn was totally removed) or even Black Panther. In some countries, Black people just aren't marketable.
