If there is any justice in the world Wonder Woman will make some great money.
It was so good it actually somehow made me really excited for the rest of the DCU. Like I get it, there is a strong chance Justice League is awful and craters my high hopes, but maaaaaan was this a great movie.

700 mil is probably the ceiling for WW but my god did they need a critical win and they got it

That is where I am. Box office is secondary to them actually delivering a good film.

I doubt they agree with you
I mean they just got to adapt the BW solo where Yelena is trying to be the new Black Widow.

No joke, I think the movie was good to the point it could revitalize faith in the entire DCU. The vast majority of people that have seen it seem to love it. Now they just need to capitalize with Justice League and DC could carry some serious momentum on their side.
If Justice League just ends up another BvS though, what a waste of good will it will be from this. Wonder Woman is portrayed SOOOOO much better than either Batman or Superman have been so far I just want her to be the centerpiece of the DCU
ha yeah it's good stuff. Going to catch it again tomorrow.

I would be down for that.

We all think that but the question is does WB?

DERP! Meant to say box office is secondary to me, not them. Obviously they want the money. I am just happy they finally delivered something good.

No, I think WB's actually very aware of that. I have a strong feeling that Squad was in some real trouble, to the point that the cut they had before the reshoots was absolute shit, so they stepped in to try to right the ship.
WW could also start slinging merch like nobody's business now
If you told me I'd care more about Wonder Woman than Batman 2 years ago, I'd laugh
Then again, I'd do the same thing if you said that about Cap vs Spider-Man
I love that book, Yelena trying to show she was hot shit and Natasha not giving a fuck

I only know because of GAF. Of course, Box Office GAF is mostly us old fogies and whatever the hell BronsonLee is.

Looks like I'm gonna be way off on that BO prediction that was made before the positive WoM started coming out and I'm fucking ecstatic.

Just a random anecdote but our local cinema is packed for Baywatch. I don't think I've ever seen it sell out not even for Star Wars. All teenagers as well. Still think it will under perform but didn't expect this.

Deadline now updating projections as they usually do WW now at 98M+ (I think 100M is game)
175 or bust
AdventureRacing

Awesome, what does this suggest for lifetime sales? Is 300+ possible?

Give a competent director a good script based on this and $150-200 million and watch it make GotG money.I mean they just got to adapt the BW solo where Yelena is trying to be the new Black Widow.

So it sounds like the Sony Silver Sable & Black Cat movie will set up a female heroes & villains team, their Avengers if you want to call it that.

I will forgive Sony for everything if they did SpiderGwen & /or Silk
Even then you have Aquaman incoming. With Wan at the helm that's gonna break out big time.

If Justice League is hated and underperforms they have to use Flash and soft reboot.

No they don't.

You mean The Flash movie that is stuck in development hell and the Aquaman movie that will wrap principal photography before Justice League even comes out?
Yeah I finished reading a couple of Spider-Gwen graphic novels a few months ago and I would love to see a movie version of the character.
God that sounds dumb.
Razgriz-Specter

Soft reboot im implying keeping stuff that works and ditching what doesn't.
Flash is so far out they can completely judge reception to Aquaman my then, meanwhile Harley and Wonder Woman are just about untouched.

100 million is still a possibility for WW? Great!
Lol, Stunner might end up being in a movie made in the 21st century. Strange times.

I got more interested in a Cyborg movie when word of including the Metal Men floated around.
God damnit, Sony owns Jessica Drew? Don't fucking waste Spider-Woman on that movie... not unless it's going to be part of the MCU and Marvel themselves are involved.
Hell, even Agents of SHIELD would be a better use of her.

Yeah, nothing stopping this for Saturday and Sunday. Waaaayyy too much going for it.
I hope so. I'm probably going back today.
Next weekend for me.
Also remember when Gaf was angry they wouldn't let Whedon make WW? Loooool
That was in 7ish years ago though.
