Yay for Wonder Woman! Yay for female led superhero movies! To quote Hope Van Dyne, "it's about damn time!"
I honestly can't wait for 2019, which will be the "Year of the Woman" in genre projects. Wonder Woman 2, Captain Marvel, Silver and Black, Star Wars episode 9, and hopefully Sonequa Martin-Green and Jodie Whittaker will still be leading Star Trek and Doctor Who.

Wonder Woman has now passed Civil War, and will pass Iron Man 3 tomorrow to become the fifth biggest superhero movie at the domestic box office, behind two Avengers and two Dark Knights.
Domestic box office? What about worldwide box office?
Fantastic news! I'm not the biggest fan of the film, but I'm very happy with how well it has performed. 
That will be a great year indeed!
Or maybe Black Widow, Scarlet Witch, Gamora, and Nebula will assert leadership over Cap, Tony, and Starlord?Of course, that year will also see a very testosterone-filled Avengers movie. For balance.

The official theme song is already out:
So . . . "Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2" is still at the top this summer?
Just using what Box Office Mojo has. Which places more importance on Domestic. They really should use the Worldwide numbers for seasonal.
I'm not, the industry is.
You Americans are more important than us Old Country peoples.
I've been under the impression the studios make more money off domestic sales than foreign sales, which is why domestic is used to show how well a move performs.
^ True, but studios also take a smaller cut of US theater profits with each passing weekend, so while opening weekend ticket sales are more profitable than foreign ones, foreign sales from the second and third weekend may be more profitable than domestic ones from the fifth or sixth weekend. IOW, there's no single formula
Good to know.
yeah, the days where the domestic Box Office is all the studios look at/care about is long dead. Hell given what these big franchise tentpole films cost to make and market these days - IF success were measured solely by domestic box office - most of these films over the last decade would have been consider modest flops.
A-
Enjoyed this movie. It wasn't as good as Man of Steel, or Civil War, and a handful of recent superhero epics, but it built a solid ground for the sequel and growing DC Universe movies we're expecting to come.
Chris Pine almost stole the show here, he was engaging, funny and a good choice for our super powered heroine. Not just anyone would impress her.
While I still think she's a bit skinny for the part, Gal Gadot turned out to be a fantastic Wonder Woman and has both effective Amazon presence in her homeland and super hero charisma in the regular world. My only problem is that her powers seem perhaps a bit overstated, but that's how she has to be portrayed to fight gods.
The villain was fairly effective, though for about halfway through, I thought Ares was going to be a bust. Luckily the climax lived up to the billing.
There were a lot of dodgy FX here...moreso than the other DC movies so far. The 4 main houses they used are usually pretty decent, so I'm going to assume they were a bit rushed for tentpole summer status and to "restore" the DC name.
