Talent 9,333 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Wonder Woman has officially become the highest-grossing superhero origin movie at the domestic box office. The Patty Jenkins-directed film has surpassed virtually every expectation, both critically and commercially. It not only came off the heels of three divisive films, two of which were meant to launch the burgeoning DC Extended Universe (Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice and Suicide Squad), but the movie — which sees Gal Gadot reprise her Batman V Superman role as Diana Prince, aka Wonder Woman — was also the first major female-led superhero movie of its kind. It became the DCEU’s first movie to be certified fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, and it also managed to surpass each DCEU film at the domestic box office, and all but one (Batman V Superman) at the worldwide box office. Wonder Woman‘s incredible box office success, both domestically and globally, has garnered Jenkins the record for the highest-grossing film directed by a woman, surpassing both Phyllida Lloyd’s Mamma Mia! ($609.8 million) and Jennifer Yuh Nelson’s Kung Fu Panda 2 ($665.7 million). The thing is, the film wasn’t done breaking records yet. Wonder Woman passed $400 million at the domestic box office earlier this month (becoming the only summer movie to do so), and it passed $800 million globally this weekend. It currently has a global cume of exactly $800 million, of which slightly more than half comes from domestic theaters: $404 million. According to Box Office Mojo, that number puts Wonder Woman just past Sam Raimi’s original Spider-Man film ($403.7 million), starring Tobey Maguire, thus making Wonder Woman the highest-grossing superhero origin story ever released. http://screenrant.com/wonder-woman-highest-grossing-superhero-origin/ __________ I'm so happy. After everyone saying women can't make blockbusters and defeating everything, Wonder Woman came through. Gays and women won! Did you guys watch it? It was fantastic, powerful, funny, beautiful. A good movie, actually. 🔵 - Banned because I quoted a stupid meme. Literally. So, yeah. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly a female lead can make money, what ya waiting for Marvel Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
