Dem legs! 😮
16% would be an amazing Sunday drop. I was thinking around 20%
Yeah, I thought 28 was too high but I wasn't expecting it to be anywhere near that number.
Edward Zwick deserved better than that movie.
He has been making some odd choices since The Last Samurai. I imagine Reacher was just his old pal Cruise throwing him a bone.
Update:
Awesome! Go WW.

A drop in the bucket, but the big IMAX in Austin at the Bullock museum has extended WW showings for a second week. Its clearly exceeding expectations across the board.

They only normally last a week?

It depends on other IMAX contracts. The Mummy, Cars 3, and Transformers 5 all have IMAX releases, and there are only about 500 venues in North America to go around.

The only reason I couldn't watch WW in IMAX 3D is cause Pirates still had the damn contract at my theater
Anecdotal, but anytime work people brought up WW, they mentioned that the reviews were stellar, so

Reviews in this case matter more becuase of BvS and Squad. Never heard my friends talk about reviews but with BvS they did.The only reason I couldn't watch WW in IMAX 3D is cause Pirates still had the damn contract at my theater

Depends on the movie. Something like a new Star Wars would get two or three weeks. I know WW was only scheduled for one week originally because my friends wanted to make sure we saw it there. Guess it did well enough to get extended.

First day back at work for a lot of people since this movie came out. I can see it being a big discussion among people who have seen it and as you said people talking about reviews.

He was the last one left in that room. When she had her gaze set only on him. Fam stood no chance. Terrible way for him to go.

Looks like I may be contributing to international tally for WW this week, depending on how they count US territories.
Deadline is reporting $103.1M for Wonder Woman now as well.
100M+ with an amazing RT score is legitimately​ the best case scenario for this film and the DCEU

Yup. Good to see.

Where are you? Puerto Rico is counted in the domestic take.

$29.7M is fantastic; only $500K less than Suicide Squad's Sunday despite WW's OD being 41% less ($64.9M vs. $38.2M).
I would say Wonder Woman now has a good shot at outgrossing Suicide Squad, as well. WOM is certainly very strong.

WB is trying to figure out how to replicate this. Well reviewed film with legs.
Maybe they could keep letting people who understand superheroes make decisions.
I just read that Patty Jenkins had to fight to keep No Man's Land in the movie, as the execs didn't understand the point of it.

Oh no, what happened to Busty?
he seems to be having trouble not getting banned lately for some reason. Maybe he's doing the scullibundo thing of asking for temp bans while working on stuff.
With a NBA game 2 finals. Impressive indeed.A DC movie with a great Sunday drop.
We're truly in uncharted territory.

Shit is Game 3 goes anything like the last two games I can see people checking out of the Finals this year.

Man of Steel dropped 0.1%
TDKR had a more legitimate 10.5% Sunday drop.

I am so damn happy for Wonder Woman. All I'm seeing everywhere is people talking about how good it is, and now people that never planned on going to the theater to see it now planning too. What a home run for DC.
Now we all pray they don't fuck this momentum up and release a dud in Justice League. Please let that film actually somehow turn out good.

Wonder Woman never skips leg day.Update:
Next weekend will probably be strong too. Congratulations to Patty and Gal.

Unless The Mummy gets glowing reviews (lol) I don't see WW having any meaningful competition until Cars 3 (God why?).

Yeah Mummy at least domestically is looking to be an under-performer and really I don't think it would really be the sort of film that would take much attention away from WW regardless.
Given that pretty damn amazing 16% drop on Sunday it seems to show word is getting out on the quality of the film. I expect a very good hold next weekend.

Holy FUCK if this is real. No Man's Land is one of the best scenes I've ever seen in super hero movie, and if WB really wanted it taken out that's pretty eye opening for the sort of decision making going on there.

US Virgin islands.

While I don't get why they had a problem with it. This isn't something that's exclusive to just WB. Most execs are dumb as rocks.
That said I can't find myself even being upset at this because it is in the movie. Which means they were ultimately gave the ok for it.

Decided to whip up some daily projections for the next week. Wonder Woman's 15.6% Sunday is pretty phenomenal, especially when we consider the game last night had stronger ratings than last year (both were kind of blowouts). We've seen examples with TDK, Inception, and Avengers that blockbusters with strong WOM and a great Sunday hold often have a fantastic Monday drop as well. I would expect Wonder Woman to hold about 10% better than the norm, which judging from the last couple years, should be around 65%.
Which would be a slightly higher second weekend than BvS (was $51.3M). Since Wonder Woman is playing to majority females and WOM among them is stronger than with males, that should help the film considerably through the summer as most other blockbusters are almost guaranteed to attract majority men. I don't think it's unreasonable right now to think WW can top BvS domestically; that's how good the Sunday hold and WOM appear to be right now.
Code:
Mon: $13.0M -56.30%
Tue: $15.1M +16.15%
Wed: $10.1M -33.11%
Thu: $9.2M -8.91%
Fri: $15.7M +70.65%
Sat: $20.5M +30.57%
Sun: $15.4M -24.88%
2nd w/e: $51.6M -50.02%
10 day total: $202.3MWhich would be a slightly higher second weekend than BvS (was $51.3M). Since Wonder Woman is playing to majority females and WOM among them is stronger than with males, that should help the film considerably through the summer as most other blockbusters are almost guaranteed to attract majority men.

If WW somehow outgrossed BvS domestically that would be absolutely insane. (and so justly deserved)
I can't remember the last time this happened. Iron Man 1 maybe?I can see <50% drop for this weekend. $100m isn't so top heavy that a big fall is inevitable, with WoM this strong.
EDIT: Superhero wise I should add.
My prediction was $290m Domestic. That's pretty much guaranteed at this point, right?
Not guaranteed, but looking very likely.
Then that will probably be the only prediction of mine on here that's been anywhere close to reality. xDNot guaranteed, but looking very likely.
