With 400ish Dom it would need a 60/40 split which they don’t quite reach without China.

I think there is an interesting question on if this drop is due to poor reception or if it’s due to it being marketed as an essential game change for the MCU and just being a Strange / Wanda movie. Or perhaps one feeds the other.

It goes to my larger theory that the expectations for a connected universe have gone too far and people have head cannoned how connected the first 3 phases of Marvel were and that leads to complaints about how these last few movies aren’t connected enough.
I wouldn't necessarily call this a disappointment. It's pretty much on par with all the other Marvel movies of this magnitude. DS2 will fall somewhere in the Thor Ragnarok to GotG range. Kind of what you'd expect. This isn't a massive even type film and it isn't going to draw in the extra audience the way a Spiderman or Black Panther movie would.
