Wonder Woman’ Box Office At $1. Million As It Shatters Glass Ceiling. UPDATE, Monday, 7: 1. AM: Warner Bros./DC’s Wonder Woman beat its Sunday projections and will end her three- day reign with $1. The Patty Jenkins- directed movie, which also reps the best opening ever for a female director, grossed $2. M on Sunday, down 1. WB’s revised Saturday of $3.

Some time ago, I offered up the idea of the money-free weekend: For the last few months, my wife and I have been doing something every other weekend or so.

M — a fantastic hold that’s on par with Guardians Of The Galaxy‘s Sunday (- 1. Again, a big win for DC here, because not only does the label have the box office to crow about, but also the awesome reviews (9. A Cinema. Score). Those were lacking with Suicide Squad and Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice. Watch Alone In Berlin Putlocker#.

If there’s an indication Hollywood is changing its attitude toward hiring female directors, this summer shows it: Wonder Woman is one of eight features to be helmed by a woman, the others being Sony’s Rough Night (Lucia Aniello), Bleecker Street’s Megan Leavey (Gabriela Cowperthwaite), Focus Features’ The Beguiled (Sofia Coppola), Paramount’s An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth To Power (Bonni Cohen co- directing), Annapurna’s Detroit (Kathryn Bigelow), Fox Searchlight’s Step (Amanda Lipitz), and Open Road’s Home Again (Hallie Meyes- Shyer). As we head into next weekend, can Wonder Woman beat Universal’s The Mummy for the top spot at the box office? Projections for that Tom Cruise film reside in the low- $4.

M range. Below is how Wonder Women stands next to other superhero first chapters at the box office (sans superhero spinoff ensembles, i. Suicide Squad and The Avengers). 7th UPDATE writethru, Sunday 7: 1. AM after 1. 2: 4. AM: The warrior princess of Themyscira is finally leaping past the century mark this weekend with $1. M according to Warner Bros., however, other studios believe Wonder Woman has the power to exceed $1. M this weekend. As we’ve observed all weekend long, the Patty Jenkins- directed tentpole is a benchmark, breaking the domestic opening record for a movie helmed by a woman, the previous champ being Sam Taylor- Johnson’s Fifty Shades of Grey ($8.

M). On a worldwide basis for female directors, Wonder Woman at $2. M ranks second behind Fifty Shades of Grey ($2. M). Nonetheless, it’s been a great week for female directors with Wonder Woman‘s high following in the wake of Sofia Coppola’s best director win at the Cannes Film Festival for The Beguiled. That’s the second time in the fest’s 7. Talk about a woman’s touch at the box office: Wonder Woman helped close the gap between this summer and last with 2.

B, continues to be 3% ahead of last year’s banner year. Overall, the domestic B. O. for this weekend came in at $1.

M, +3. 5% over the same period a year ago.“This movie resonated globally,” beamed Warner Bros. Jeff Goldstein about the $2. M worldwide result for the female DC superhero movie.

Wonder Woman is a woman for our time, and her message and the tone that Patty Jenkins set forth connects with now. Sue Kroll, Blair Rich and their marketing teams did a brilliant job with this film, and our publicity team screened it early and set the pace for Wonder Women so it peaked on opening weekend.”The success of Wonder Woman this weekend even impressed John Fithian, National Association of Theatre Owners CEO & President who exclaimed, ““I want to congratulate Patty Jenkins, Gal Gadot and Warner Bros on the terrific opening, but Wonder Woman’s success is everybody’s success.

At NATO, at Cinema. Con, we have for years called for diversity in movies that match the diversity of our audiences, not just because it’s a good idea but because it’s good business. What we really look forward to is the day when a movie directed by a woman and telling a woman’s story is no longer news because it was successful – or even that it was produced at all – because such movies should be a matter of routine.

We will grow our audiences by telling more stories that tell their stories.”warner bros. Wonder Woman easily beats the opening of the first Iron Man ($9. M), though she still floats under the openings of such single (not team) superhero origin features as Deadpool ($1. M), Man of Steel ($1. M), and Spider- Man ($1.

M). Currently, Wonder Woman is the sixth best domestic opening at the June B. O, and second best for WB and DC after Man of Steel. If she can get past the $1.

M generated by Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, then Wonder Woman will own the fifth- best debut for the month. Wonder Woman surged to after an estimated $3. M yesterday. Now, since studios include Thursday preview B. O. in Friday’s opening figure, Wonder Woman is - 8% from Friday’s $3.

The regular cast and crew numbered 1,5. This latest iteration of Wonder Woman was arguably close to four years in the making if you think about it when director Zack Synder selected Fast & Furious actress Gal Gadot to play the red, white and blue bathing- suit clad demi- God.

Gadot was introduced before fans at the 2. Comic- Con when the Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice panel was held. In addition, Gadot sat on “The Women Who Kick Ass” panel.

She returned last year with director Patty Jenkins, Chris Pine and Connie Nielsen. While some in the press would juxtapose Wonder Woman‘s campaign to the size of Bv. S or Suicide Squad‘s, the fact of the matter is that for WB it was a global studio wide effort, pulling together all their forces, and aiming to excite those potential demos well beyond the character’s fans.

The film’s social media campaign highlighted themes of Power, Courage, Wisdom and Wonder. Through talent debuts, platform partnerships and custom hashtag initiatives, such as #Wonder.
