WONDER WOMAN Director Patty Jenkins Thanks Fans For Making It The #1 Movie Worldwide

Wonder Woman was originally expected to open in North America with an only okay $65 million or so, a figure which was high back when Captain America: The First Avenger was released, but now pales in comparison to most modern superhero movies. However, as this past weekend went on, it quickly became apparent that the Amazon warrior's first solo outing would exceed expectations and it did!

While $90+ million started looking possible on Friday, pretty much no one expected Wonder Woman to crack $100 million but that it did with an impressive haul of $103,251,471 in North American theaters.

Throw in an addition $122.5 million from overseas and Wonder Woman's worldwide debut adds up to a mighty $233 million. That makes it the #1 movie in the world and director Patty Jenkins took to social media last night to thank fans for making the female-led superhero release a hit. It remains to be seen how much higher it will go, but analysts currently expect it to crush The Mummy this coming weekend.

I want to send out the deepest and sincere THANK YOU to all of you who made this so. YOU have helped us make change. Amazing!! #wonderwoman pic.twitter.com/vQQQfOzPyM

WaffeX - 6/6/2017, 2:48 AM

@Deschain99 - which movie is that? Is that James Spader?

Sephiroth - 6/6/2017, 5:57 AM

@IcemanX - I believe that's the movie Lincoln

WaffeX - 6/6/2017, 10:44 AM

@Sephiroth - I saw Lincoln, I can't remember this scene, boring movie

Deschain99 - 6/6/2017, 7:08 PM

@IcemanX - Yeah it's him.

@Doomsday8888 - Asian time

Up there with DC's greatest
1. The Dark Knight
2. Wonder Woman
3. Man of Steel

I haven't seen Donner's Superman, but hearing about all the homage Wonder Woman payed to it, I'll probably check it out sooner or later.

DeadClunge - 6/6/2017, 2:00 AM

@MrMurdock - im surprised you've seen any of these movies.

DetectiveCinema - 6/6/2017, 2:21 AM

@MonsieurClunge - Actually more of a DC fan to be honest with you, despite the username.

Snotzo - 6/6/2017, 2:25 AM

@MrMurdock - you lost all credibility when you said MoS.

DeadClunge - 6/6/2017, 2:29 AM

@MrMurdock - i guess my matt Murdoch being blind joke went over your head lol

DeadClunge - 6/6/2017, 2:30 AM

tbf the joke was shite

CaptainElrond - 6/6/2017, 2:34 AM

@MonsieurClunge - Well you know, he could listen to audio tapes.

DeadClunge - 6/6/2017, 2:35 AM

@MissCipher - lol audio tapes aint shit!!!

DetectiveCinema - 6/6/2017, 2:40 AM

@Snotzo - It's grown on me over the years, initially I wasn't the biggest fan either. I will admit though it doesn't come close to TDK and WW

CaptainElrond - 6/6/2017, 2:43 AM

@MrMurdock - Need to watch more, keatons batman is much better than man of steel. And the watchmen if they count.

Snotzo - 6/6/2017, 2:43 AM

@MrMurdock - Superman should act like Wonder Woman in Wonder Woman when it comes to helping people.

DetectiveCinema - 6/6/2017, 2:50 AM

@Snotzo -

You're not wrong. Man of Steel had its flaws, one of the biggest being their interpretation of Supes. I think visually though, such a [frick]ing beautiful film

@MissCipher
Will agree with you there, Batman and Batman Returns > Man of Steel, they're classics. But in regards to Superman movies, Man of Steel > Superman, need to check out Donner's films though.

Jimbob84 - 6/6/2017, 6:07 AM

@MrMurdock - Our top 3 DC films are the same bro! Both MoS and WW were excellent origin stories.

Eli - 6/6/2017, 6:40 AM

@MrMurdock - Only the first is Donner's, and it's considered a film school type masterpiece. II is fun, but gets super cheese and very loose with Superman lore. After II, it's really downhill.

Watching the first movie is worth it just for the John Williams music. The score throughout the movie is incredible!!!

operator3014 - 6/6/2017, 8:20 AM

@Snotzo - No. He didn't. MOS is an amazing film, right up there with the ones he listed.

Luminus - 6/6/2017, 1:59 AM

Now, in the next movie, show us what Wonder Woman was doing during Man of Steel.

Luminus - 6/6/2017, 2:39 AM

@ClaytonBigsby - In your dreams.

Stealthduck - 6/6/2017, 3:11 AM

@Luminus - I would also like these questions answered! I know we have to let some things go, but with Wonder Woman, the threat of Zod was a much more immediate threat than Doomsday. Maybe the sequel will be set in another dimension. Her line in BvS was that she had killed "things" from other worlds, plural.
Also, I would like to know in Civil War, why they gave Vision the day off at the beginning of the film.
