No comicbook movie made 700 million in 2025.
There is no fatigue in america for example and if china came out(and we all know why china is not coming out as much any more) then the worldwide numbers would be higher and russia is not even playing movies from america because of the war and thunderbolts and captian america 4 would not have flop on the big screen even if they did not make 700 million.

Here is the china info.
The west blame china for covid and now china is not coming to see their movies as much any more and now supporting thier own movie industry more?

Yes, a combination of geopolitical factors including the "West blaming China for COVID" and escalating U.S.-China trade tensions, alongside China's robust domestic film industry, has led to a decline in Chinese audiences watching Hollywood movies. The shift away from Hollywood blockbusters accelerated after 2020, with Chinese-made films now dominating the box office, as China increasingly supports its local film industry.

So movies companies in america plan to lower budgets on average and to have more hits and make more profits again because china is not there for those movies like they once were in the 2010's and movie companies know this now but it takes time to change plus you have this currently.

When it comes to disney plus live action shows most of them were hits.
All of them were hits in phase 4 and most were hits in phase 5.
Daredevil is the only one to flop in phase 5 and the first dcu live action show peacemaker season 2 is not a hit.

'Fantastic Four: First Steps' Redeems Its Weak Box Office on Streaming

It's been a strange year for Marvel.

movieweb.com

This is what I’ve been saying. The model has changed and Box Office is a smaller and less important factor regarding the money and audience for a film now that streaming is a thing, and people stay home rather than going out.

I only saw it once in the theater, but I bought it last Tuesday and have watched it twice since then.

And since there’s no theater to split it with and very little cost for Disney, nearly all of the $30 I spent to buy it is profit.

This is a moviweb article.

There are plenty of blockbusters that make bank and then smash on streaming. They are films that mass audiences want to see.

Yep. This is what happens when an American President engages in short-sighted behavior, i.e., demonizing an entire group/race of human beings and repeatedly calling a global pandemic a “China-Virus.” Hollywood is now reaping the consequences of those comments.

 

[Sithborg]

Its a bit more complex than that. While orange man bad is a factor, other factors are in play. The 2023,glut did create fatigue. China has been pushing domestic movies over hollywood ones.

Yearly rank
Domestic 2025: 6
Worldwide 2025: 10

Expect it to go lower when For Good and Fire & Ash come out.
