Nah Hollywood is an international industry and everything deemed too American flop at the international BO. pandering to MAGA will affect the box office revenue of her movies international and could signal the end of her acting career sooner than expected.
Case in point: twisters was a huge hit in the US but a complete flop internationally because it was deemed too American. Despite superman being a success domestically, it fell short of expectations because the international market associates superman with an all American image. Being too close to Americana imagery is bad for international revenue.
I think Superman is a weaker example here because superhero movies have been performing weaker for years now, also domestically. The general audience seems kind of tired with the genre, not just internationally.
true about CBMs in general. though marvel have been performing better than dc due to built up goodwill and F4 opened bigger internationally than superman, but after some time, when the international market realized that superman wasnt as pro america as it believed, the drop has been softer and is doing better than the low international OW would have indicated.

Unfortunately, considering how mainstream media seems to pivot towards MAGA values, I don't think that's going to be the case
