Fourth or fifth internationally is still pretty good all things considered. In the UK the film was released three weeks later to take advantage of a school holiday, but that also put it up directly against BvS and Eddie the Eagle. Six weeks later, Zootopia (or I should say Zootropolis) is still hanging on in cinemas while the other two films are long gone. Deadpool had about a two month shelf-life in cinemas so 6-7 weeks for Zootropolis brings it close.
As for whether BvS and Civil War reflect a growing disinterest in superhero movies, I've been getting the impression that people are objecting to the concept of superheroes fighting each other. And if people don't like a movie's concept, that can be a lot more damaging to ticket sales than bad execution. Seeing as X-Men: Apocalypse has a very unambiguous villain (and is also looking like a pretty awesome 80s sci-fi throwback to boot), I'll be interested in seeing the reception for it when it comes out.
