Two years later, T’Challa’s solo film Black Panther would breeze past Civil War to become, at the time, the highest-grossing entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In 2016, Captain America: Civil War introduced a new character to cinema audiences in the form of T’Challa. The Force Awakens’ $936.6 million domestic cume remains the highest of the decade, even if Endgame passed it on the worldwide front. (That prequel trilogy was released by 20th Century Fox, which would itself be acquired by Disney in 2019.) Star Wars’ box office haul since that time has been “impressive… most impressive.” The first film of producer Kathleen Kennedy’s new Star Wars trilogy, The Force Awakens, opened domestically to a then-record $247.9 million, a figure that has only been surpassed by fellow Disney releases Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. In 2012, Disney got out the checkbook again and announced their acquisition of Lucasfilm, putting them in the position to make the first Star Wars films since George Lucas’ prequel trilogy from around a decade earlier.

We're harping on about the box office collection of specific territories abroad just as the trade sources collections from different territories back home to comprehend where a film has worked, where it hasn't, has it worked everywhere or nowhere. Now, we're not talking about the overall overseas figures of a particular movie, which is readily available in most cases, no, siree. While we're pretty familiar with or at least can easily get access to (for those outside of trade circles) to domestic numbers of Indian movies, even South movies nowadays, which was earlier tough to ferret out other than producer figures, it's quite a different case for overseas digits.

Names like Rajinikanth, Suriya, Thalapathy Vijay, Chiyaan Vikram are synonymous with massive blockbusters in Tamil cinema, but did you know that their star power and box office pull aren't restricted to local territories alone? And no, we aren't merely referring to how much their movies collect outside of Tamil Nadu, with boundaries being erased rapidly and Indian cinema becoming more nationalised rather than the demarcations that existed previously between Bollywood and regional cinema.
