That's smart and i'm betting the first movie is going to crash and burn and that is the end of it

oh shit, we could get a whole WW trilogy set before her BvS apperance
we wouldn't even need to consider it part of the DCEU!
That's the best thing for them to do.
Keep it as far away from the 'damaged' Joker, Bruce "Frank Castle" Wayne and Somberman as possible.
Yeah but also makes it sound like there's been more than 5...
Hell we'll see how WW performs at the box office, but after that they may give Patty a bigger budget and I'd love for us to go full fantastical and mythical

Oh, no doubt, that was just fancasting on my part. I was just referencing the comments she made in Cannes recently.
right? double down on the bright, fantastical nature of her background and explore her 100 years away from humanity by fighting mythical beasts and exploring her history with Cheetah

Everyone expected this movie to suck. The fact that it doesn't is going to turn a lot of heads that wouldn't otherwise care. Wonder Woman will have long legs, it's going to make bank.

I actually did. Patty Jenkins seemed to have a great grasp on the material.
Just like I'm high on Aquaman because of Wan.
Seven, actually. You're likely forgetting Watchmen and...
(Eight if you want to count The Losers but I'll let that one slide.)

Oh thank fucking god
Fingers crossed this is the turning point and not a one-off

Not really. Put effort and quality into something, it will be good. Do not and it will be recived poorly.
Both movies will make bank though. They aren't that confused.

Hopefully this translates into good news for the rest of the DCEU, and isn't just a fluke.
If anything, Mos, BvS and SS showed them exactly what not to do. Just do the opposite of whatever the heck those movies were trying to be and you're good.

Really happy this is doing well.

I was really disappointed in you when I read what you wrote in the Gal Gadot cast for WW thread.

Now this needs to make a lot of money and break records so Captain Marvel won't have a chance in hell of overtaking it. I'm feeling better that we may live in a world where Captain Marvel doesn't make more money than Wonder Woman.

Oh yeah, plus the fact that this is the first major female-led superhero movie (emphasis on major, before someone starts screaming at me about fucking Elektra). As we've seen countless times over the last few years, underserved markets show up.

Tbh I felt that WW absolutely HAD to be good or better. I dont think DCEU could absorb another miss, especially one with the momentum and positive showing (in BvS) like Wonder Woman.

Awesome and unexpected. I'll definitely check it out this week or next weekend.

I do wonder how Capitain marvels going to do. It has been a bit weird that until Black panther every standalone MCU Superhero film that isn't an ensemble cast has stared a straight white male.
Headline: "Wonder Woman disappoints at box office"
Executives at WB: "Damn, I guess we just need to go back to what we've been doing!"
There's no version of reality where CM tops 500 million worldwide.
Do we really need to bring fanboy wars into the thread?
We should be glad that we're likely going to have two great female solo films, not pitting them against each other.
I don't think the problem with BvS was that they didn't put the effort into it. They definitely tried very hard to get somewhere.
The problem was that they completely misjudged where they should be trying to go. Even if you take care of all the surface level oddities in that film, the problem is at a very fundamental plot level. It's just not a fun or interesting story to watch.
I can't explain Suicide Squad. I think I even prefer the twisted adolescent idea of dark, moody, philosophical stories they presented in BvS over the attempts at 'hip' comedy in SS. BvS was bad, but at least it felt like someone wanted to say something there, even if it didn't work at all. SS just felt like a completely cynical attempt to get at young teen edginess, as seen through the eyes of 50-year old producers.
I'm very happy this is getting reviewed better though. Kinda looking forward to seeing it now even. I watched SS out of morbid curiosity but I was convinced that was going to be the last time I ever watched one of these.
It'll over perform.

"There's no version of reality where Ant-Man tops 500 million worldwide."
Also, you seem to be purposefully ignoring my question from earlier in the thread at this point.
Considering you implied that there is a possibility that Wonder Woman makes $1 billion, I'm not sure you're the best guy to be giving out box office predictions.

I love Marvel's female superheroes.................except Captain Marvel. I think I'm more excited for that Black Cat/Silver Sable movie that will probably never get made.

Movie Captain Marvel will probably have very little in common with the comic-book character.
