Yes, domestic is still very important, but it's not great when movies don't make big money outside the US. The ratio should always be that a movie made more outside the U.S then in the U.S. For example The Force Awakens made $936,662,225 is the U.S. alone, but only slightly more outside of the U.S (where a lot more people live), it made $1,131,561,399 for a total of just 54.7% of the total income of the movie. Sure these are great numbers, but to be truly great you need to make Avatar level of money. It made just $760,507,625 in the U.S., similar to Black Panther U.S. box office numbers, but it made $2,027,457,462 outside of the U.S. alone, that's how much money there is outside of the U.S. Something no movie has been able to tap into ever since. Theoretically Avengers 3 could do that as it too is making a lot more money outside the U.S. than in the U.S., but I doubt that it can reach this level of box office success or even close.
