Headlines in the mainstream press indicate that 21st Century Fox's FOXA The Wolverine was a box office disappointment.
The film earned $141 million worldwide last weekend. More than half of that revenue ($86.1 million) came from ticket sales outside of the United States.
Hollywood is typically proud to celebrate a film's global success, but The Wolverine follows a long list of X-Men films that have earned big bucks domestically.
