Still hasn't opened in a couple important markets such as Germany, Japan and Spain. I wonder if it will threepeat this weakend against Cars 3. Probably not, but Cars 3 reviews have been lukewarm so far.
Wonder Woman
- Thread starter Videodrome
- Start date
Nah early tracking looks like cars will take top spot but it might see a big drop next week
People are playing the Hollywood is sexist card again because gal got $300k for making this film.
She was all but about to quit acting when she got the role and had no star power and will no doubt get more going forward.
Chris evens got that for the first avenger
Hemsworth got 200k for Thor

People are conflating the issue because they aren't taking into account that these stars often get bonuses based on how well the movie does. There is a lot more to it than the original salary.
I believe that this issue started from were somebody actually comparing Henry Cavill's final take with her sign-up salary. This is just typical knee-jerk journalism.

Qatar is a very small market and WW still hasn't opened in Japan. What's concerning is its box office intake in Germany is kinda low. I wonder if it has anything to do with the German army being a villain in this movie. This is kinda similar Captain America: The First Avengers which has the Nazis/Hydra as the villain. Captain America's German box office was only half of its French box office as the result. And these 2 markets have always been comparable for Hollywood movies.

'Wonder Woman' Ignores 'Spider-Man', Crosses $360 Million
Well, this is interesting. Despite losing 313 theaters and going head-to-head with Spider-Man: Homecoming, Warner Bros./Time Warner Inc.’s Wonder Woman didn't miss a beat. The Patty Jenkins-directed superhero flick earned another $2.94 million on Friday, which is a drop of just 33% from last Friday. That brings the film’s 36-day total to $361.59m. We’re looking at a sixth weekend of around $10m (-33%), for a new 38-day total of $369m. That will push the Gal Gadot/Chris Pine actioner past the likes of The Jungle Book, The Secret Life of Pets and Deadpool.
So, as of this afternoon, Wonder Woman will become the biggest domestic grosser not released by Walt Disney or Universal/Comcast Corp. since Lionsgate’s The Hunger Games: Catching Fire back in November of 2013. It will also be, not adjusted for inflation, the second-biggest superhero origin story/non-sequel ever behind Sam Raimi’s original Spider-Man way back in 2002. In terms of tickets sold, it still trails Deadpool and Iron Man and won’t get anywhere near Superman, Batman or Spider-Man, but it’s still a potent achievement. It will also be the second-biggest superhero movie ever sans Batman, Iron Man or Spider-Man.
The biggest, in North America, remains for the moment Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, which should end the weekend with $385 million as it winds up its domestic run. And yeah, on this day, day 37, Wonder Woman will pass the Guardians 2 in terms of comparative cumulative total. The DC Films offering has been making more on a day-to-day basis for a while, but now it has made up the $43m opening weekend gap and will have made more in 37 days ($365m+) than Guardians 2 ($364m). So, barring a fluke, it looks like Wonder Woman will be the biggest domestic earner of the summer unless Spider-Man: Homecoming plays spoiler.
I don’t have overseas updates past Tuesday, but the $150 million-budgeted film now has at least $735m worldwide. It may cross the $750m mark tomorrow and will soon be past the likes of The Matrix Reloaded ($742m in 2003), Suicide Squad ($745m), Maleficent ($758m), The Amazing Spider-Man ($757m) and X-Men: Days of Future Past ($747m). By the way, once it tops the second Matrix movie, it will be Warner Bros.’ second-biggest global grosser not involving Batman or J.K. Rowling after Chris Nolan’s Inception ($821m in 2010 sans 3D). In terms of domestic booty, it’s already Warner Bros.’ fourth-biggest grosser behind Harry Potter 7.2 ($381m), The Dark Knight Rises ($448m) and The Dark Knight ($534m).

‘Wonder Woman 2’ Set In 1980s, Chris Pine To Return
New rumors suggest that Wonder Woman 2 will be a period piece like its predecessor – this time, set in the 1980s. But what’s even more interesting is that Steve Trevor, who we last saw at the end of World War I, will somehow factor into the story.
According to Screen Rant, rumors are currently suggesting that the movie will be set in the 1980s to further fill in the gap between the first Wonder Woman movie and her first live-action appearance in Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice. As far as the timeline of when the story will actually take place, the rumor is that Diana will face off against the Soviet Union in the waning days of the Cold War – not all dissimilar to the approach that her standalone debut took with World War I. So from the sound of things, Wonder Woman 2 will be the Captain America: The Winter Soldier of the DCEU to Wonder Woman 1‘s Captain America: The First Avenger.
The production team on the sequel will involve a lot of the team that worked on the first. Geoff Johns and Patty Jenkins are working on the script, although the latter has yet to officially sign on as director – though it should be noted that it’s incredibly likely that she’ll be back, from the sound of things. Also set to return is Chris Pine as Steve Trevor, who (SPOILER ALERT) sacrificed his life at the end of the first movie in order to prevent London from being destroyed by chemical warfare, which would have prolonged World War I significantly. How Trevor will return to the movie has not been explained, and this development might actually be a driving question for the story.
Given that Wonder Woman has held incredibly well from weekend to weekend at the box office, has received critical acclaim, and is being seen as the breakthrough hit needed to justify the development of more female-led superhero movies,
the movie getting a sequel was an inevitability. Perhaps we’ll learn if these rumors about the sequel are indeed true at this year’s San Diego Comic Con, which will be held a few days from now.
UPDATE: Heroic Hollywood editor-in-chief Umberto Gonzalez has now confirmed that the Wonder Woman sequel will indeed be a period piece set during the Cold War with the Amazonian Princess facing off against the Soviet Union in the 1980s.

Wonder Woman is going to surpass Guardians of the Galaxy vol.2 in domestic box office gross this weekend. Congrats, girl!
Finally saw it! I really liked it!
I like to do my ironing while watching movies, but I could barely get a clean seam on my pillow cases while it was on!
Loved it! The sassy secretary was awesome.

$400 million domestic box office gross is now guaranteed. You can tell why WB is so eager to work on the sequel. It's now official that WW sequel will be in theaters on December 13, 2019.

Agreed. Amazing movie but I don't think it's artistic or ground-breaking enough for Oscar's Best Picture. Can't say anything about Best Director. This kinda reminds me of Disney's Beauty and The Beast running for Best Picture in 1992 due to its success at the time. Meh. Not the strongest animated feature in the Disney's Renaissance era. The Lion King might have had a better chance.
