Would that not mean they get a larger than quarter slice of the Chinese takings (i recall reading somewhere that this was the case)? If so, surely that particular franchise is well ahead of the curve in terms of money making?

With respect, POC (people of color) is the most widely accepted and politically correct way to refer to non white actors and actresses.

To suggest that’s racist is bizarre.

If you’re offended, grow up.

All people are people of color. To suggest otherwise is racist

To signal out Justice League as the “worst box office performer” is simply not true and it hints at a severe agenda.

The honest “best” box office list would have “IT” at the top. Made for $35 Million, it made $327 M domestically. IT made another $370M internationally. How is WONDER WOMAN’s take more impressive domestically? Wonder Woman cost over $200 M. I’m not saying Wonder Woman doesn’t warrant consideration as a top performer, but are we creating an honest list or pushing an agenda?

I mean, what’s more impressive? A $200M film (that probably had $100M+ in P&A spend) that grosses $812M, or a $35M film that grossed $700M internationally?

GET OUT cost $5M and grossed $175M domestically. If international audiences weren’t racist, it would’ve made more, but foreign audiences won’t support films where the lead is a POC. The world, not the US, is racist.

The truth is, Wonder Woman ranked 9th in total box office in 2017. You’d think reading this article it was #1 (or at least top 5). Top films of 2017:

BEAUTY & THE BEAST
FAST & FURIOUS 8
DESPICABLE ME 3
Star Wars 8
SPIDERMAN (somehow listed as a “worst” on this list)
Wolf Warrior 2
Thor
then Wonder Woman.

Worst at the box office: King Arthur, Rough Night, Valerian, Baywatch, Chips.

Sorry to bring reality into the situation.
