Wonder Woman Breaks $100M - Sets Record

"Wonder Woman" conquered milestones and movie myths at North American theaters, where the Patty Jenkins-directed superhero film powered its way to a $100.5 million debut this weekend and became the biggest blockbuster ever directed by a woman.

The well-reviewed movie easily surpassed industry expectations with one of the summer's biggest debuts, according to studio estimates Sunday. Starring Gal Gadot as the Amazonian warrior princess, "Wonder Woman" is the rare — and most successful — female-led film in an overwhelmingly male superhero landscape.

It proved a hit with moviegoers, earning an A CinemaScore. While skewing somewhat female, it drew a fairly evenly split audience. Warner Bros. said 52 percent of the audience was female and 48 percent male. "Wonder Woman" added $122.5 million internationally, including $38 million in China.

"It shows that superhero movies aren't just about men. They're about women as well," said Jeff Goldstein, distribution chief for Warner Bros. "All the noise about Patty Jenkins breaking the glass ceiling for directors, I think that added to it as well."

Women have long struggled to get behind the camera of Hollywood's biggest productions. Female directors accounted for just 9 percent of the 250 top-grossing movies in North America in 2015 and only 7 percent in 2016.

Jenkins, who previously directed 2003's "Monster" starring Charlize Theron, now holds the record for biggest domestic opening for a female director. The previous mark was Sam Taylor-Johnson's "Fifty Shades of Grey," with $85.1 million in 2015.

"Wonder Woman" represents a turning point for Warner Bros. and DC Comics, which have together struggled in recent years to match the Marvel-Disney juggernaut. While "Wonder Woman" didn't match the box-office might of "Batman v. Superman" (a $166 million opening) or "Suicide Squad" ($133.7 million), it was much better-received than those roundly derided releases.

"This is a dramatic step in the right direction," Goldstein said. "We've heard fans. We've heard critics. These properties are very complicated and beloved. To get it right, it takes a lot of work. I think on this movie, all of us got it right."

London Premiere Of Wonder Woman Canceled

The London premiere of "Wonder Woman" has been canceled following the terror attack outside of an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester Monday night.

The premiere had been scheduled for May 31 to help welcome the super hero film to Europe. Warner Bros said in a statement Wednesday that the movie's junket and premiere were off "in light of the current situation."

The film is being released worldwide on June 2.

"Wonder Woman" is the latest event canceled following the death of 22 people at an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester on Monday. Bands like Blondie and Take That canceled shows in the immediate aftermath.

Everyone Is So Excited About Wonder Woman

Apparently there are way too many people with way too much time on their hands. Wonder Woman recently started filming here in LA and as soon as the Justice League nerds got wind of what she was wearing, they turned to the message boards of the world and began to whine. Well, that whining paid off because suddenly a few days later, Wonder Woman showed up in exactly what they wanted her to be wearing and the world was at peace. Just until the invisible plane shows up. How can you complain about that though because you can't see it right? Below is the appropriate costume as judged by Geeks R Us.

Introducing Wonder Woman

Teresa Palmer has been cast as Wonder Woman in the new Justice League of America film. Palmer beat out Minka Kelly and Mary Elizabeth Winstead for the role. Allegedly Jessica Biel turned down the role when it was offered to her by director George Miller because Jessica wanted to keep starring in films no one sees, being box office poison for established stars, and making sure that people never take her seriously as an actress. Good luck on that Jessica.

(Very deep voice) Meanwhile, back at the Hall of Justice. Kind of a nice segue. All the episodes say that. Yea, I know, I know. I should watch something else on Saturday mornings.

I'm sure absolutely none of you have heard of Teresa Palmer, but she is 21, from Australia and stars in December Boys with Daniel Radcliffe. In the US she is probably best known for her work on Grudge 2.
