Alright, Wonder Woman!
Was checking other Superhero movies, Damn. I always forget how Much The Dark Knight made in U.S alone

Nearly everyone overestimated what Guardians 2 would pull.

I wonder what the popularity is in SK? Is it similar to korean horror films?
Guardians 2 also had no real competition for weeks and still couldn't do it.

Hahah Oh Wow.
I'm happy for WW. Haven't seen it yet, but I'm glad it turned out even better than everyone expected.
But I am still very skeptical on what comes next. JL looked like more of the same that BvS brought us, and that's does not make me look forward to it. Maybe the movie will present itself a little different after Joss finishes touching it up some.
But this is a WW celebration time, we'll worry about JL months from now.
Out of curiousity, I went back and looked at the Top opening weekend list. The only Friday openers to earn at least $75M opening weekend AND gross at least 4x their opening weekend were Avatar and Zootopia.
Everything else with a 4.0+ OW multiplier opened in the middle of the week.
The next film to hit the 4.0 OW multiplier mark was Finding Nemo. So 3 films out of the top 100 openers.

She was involved in other projects, including Thor: The Dark World, that didn't work out.

I'm surpirsed how low Lego Batman is. I personally didn't like the movie, but thought for sure it would be The Lego Movie or at least match it

Guardians 2 had an amazing run. It's not that G2 underperformed in any way it's that people had unrealistic expectations for it.
Kswis for example was warning against the 1 billion predictions for months
Let's just be grateful we can understand this week's title.
SamuelSupreme should be glad that no one took him up on his bet from that thread

Oh man, people and their dumb avatar bets.
*whistles inconspicuously as he looks at the WW BO results*
The Mummy seems like the most likely loser of the $100M+ stuff.
July is just as bad...Spider-man, War for the Planet of the Apes, Dunkirk. Back to back to back.

Ouch.
Last time I was that wrong was in 2007. I thought Transformers was destined to bomb.

I feel like the inflated estimates for GotG2 were on Marvel pushing it so hard. On top of all spent for traditional marketing, how they went ahead with two GotG video games and the Disney Land ride.
I'm still hanging in there. It's a long shot but I have a feeling that the female heavy audience break down is going to push this beyond the usual CBM multipliers. I know that Hunger Games had a better start but I feel like WW could play well into July.
I know that we'll get a sense of the legs on this as soon as the mid week numbers come in but I think this film is going to surprise a lot of people.

So, WW made 100 mil Domestic and a litter over 100 foreign. Sounds good.

I bet they could hit $1B in a sequel, if they teamed her up with Ironman....
or, uh, even better, with Batman and Superman!!, No way would a movie with Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman miss the $1B mark

Diana would absolutely clear house on the SS
Even with $400m off the table I think we can all agree that WW will crush The Mummy next weekend.
I know someone who's estimating just $25m for Mummy's three day opening.
*sharp intake of breath*
I think Dunkirk will be fine owing to the fact it's the only real, large scale 'adult' film playing wide this summer. A solid opening weekend with similarly solid legs as the older males come out to watch.

OMG, people had Power Rangers over Wonder Woman. lmao
Yep, looks like a lazy sunday afternoon netflix feature, not the must see movie of the summer.
Marvel hit 800m without Iron Man yet?
Hey it worked in the comics...
Though would take a bit of set-up they could recruit Faora from the Phantom Zone to the Squad.
Faora vs Wonder Woman would be a heck of a fight.

Yes Guardians 2. It's at 817 and it's run isn't over yet
I think there are enough Nolan fans for it to hit $50m ow, but it needs really good reviews/RT score/wom for it to break out and be a summer hit.

I'm pretty sure at least some people had Captain Underpants over Wonder Woman. People really underestimated WW.
Legs will likely be better than average for Wonder Woman, but I think you are in the airborne stage of your

Bingo. Women directors have a harder time getting funding for follow-ups to successes and are tossed into director jail far quicker than men after disappointments.
If someone would have asked me why they should watch the Batman Lego movie, I would have had no idea what to answer.
Power Rangers will fail to hit 1/4th of any superhero film that isn't Lego Batman this year.

It's going to crush the mummy, but mummy will be fine globally because of the Cruise factor.
It's the gayest family movie I've ever seen. That makes it worthy.

This seems true. Supes has also technically been shown to be "faster than a speeding bullet"... but Deadshot never misses.... Hmmmm...
Just tell Superman Martha is in danger.
No more Alien for awhile, assuming they don't let Scott finish his story.

Chris Nolan fans, people who watch the history channel, old folks, etc. Dunkirk may not blow the doors off opening week but it should have fine legs unless its Nolan's first movie to not click with critics.

According to Kwinston post (1st reply?)
Marvel's getting closer.
But will IM really be the $Bill maker? Can IM really bring SM off the bench and into the $Billy Club just by being present in the movie?
I believe in THOR though. That will be the 1st one to do it w/o IM in it.
