Not by a ton, but Wonder Woman also overperformed expectations overseas as well

Coming in at an even 60 million

WONDER WOMAN exceeded expectations yet again--$60M int'l this weekend in 57 markets, $232M total.

 

[DecoReturns]

Go Wonder Woman.

 

[Stinkles]

Thanks. So, the best superhero hold since 2002.

No. This is:

Damn that's great! If this film really hits 700 WW. Wow.

 

[Anth0ny]

Gitesh and others are saying that the revised estimate is $58.6M. So not quite a $2M bump.

wooooooow so close

I'll take it!

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

You failed, Anth0ny, you failed

Book it!

No. This is:

I concede the point.

 

[Fury451]

Holy shit Tomb of the Dragon Emperor had a higher domestic opening that Cruise Mummy? I didn't even realize that movie made any money at all.

Patty Jenkins is a brand now

Don't make me post the picture again...

 

[3N16MA]

Patty Jenkins is a brand now

She has one of the biggest studios at her feet. Not bad after being out of the spotlight for 14 years.

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

TFA was absurd. I know it was released in December​, but it had an OW close to $250m.

At the time its second weekend was the 12th biggest weekend ever. Like, including opening weekends. And then there's that $90m weekend 3 lol.

That 30 days or so after TFA released was the most insane thing I've seen in cinema history. It was more than a movie.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

LOL the Cruise missile misfired.

 

[LordOfLore]

Looks like Wonder Woman will influence SW IX.

damn

"She had a very profound reaction to it," said Trevorrow. "We thought it was a little long for her, and we weren't sure if she was going to be a part of this, but she came out and was like, 'I'm going to want to watch that every day, and I am Wonder Woman now.'

marvel get that CM train goinggggggg

 

[Dinda]

6.3M on Monday for WW via Gitesh Pandya.

 

[Alex_Mexico]

damn



marvel get that CM train goinggggggg

I can assure you Disney it paying very close attention to WW. And much of their fears that CM could fail just because she's a chick should be going out the window right now.

 

[GhaleonEB]

$6.3M MON for #WonderWoman  dipping 46% from last MON. Now at $212.6M surpassing entire runs of Thor2, BatmanBegins, Fast5 & MI4.​

oh i bet they are, i just hope they are prepping to go full Cosmic A-Force on em after Avengers 4:

Captain Marvel
Valkyrie
Gamora
The Wasp
Black Widow
Scarlet Witch

it might be hard to write them all together, but if they start now they can easily lay the groundwork in WIP movies like Ant Man & The Wasp, Avengers 4 & Captain Marvel

Good, bad, average, great? Gimme some perspective please.

 

[kswiston]

Expected.

EDIT: At least it was about what I expected. It is a steeper drop from last week than Sat and Sun were though.

 

[Dinda]

Good, bad, average, great? Gimme some perspective please.

Hehe, I'm not an expert, but it was pretty much what was expected? It's better than all of the other DCEU movies on their second Monday. So it is continuing to catch up to them.
It's also better than for example the second Monday for Guardians 2.

 

[Cooter]

You guys rock. Thanks.

I forgot that the NBA final wrapped up last night, so we could see better holds for the rest of the week.

Anyone think WW could hit $700 milly?

If it beats Dr. Strange then I can rest easy.

 

[Radec]

Just saw the Mummy. It was an okay flick, its hugely different than the previous Mummy movies.

Not sure what Russel Crowe supposed to be lol.

 

[Toa TAK]

Not sure what Russel Crowe supposed to be lol.

A man older than Tom Cruise, weirdly enough.

The crazy domestic run gives it a decent chance of doing that. This is going to be the most US-centric superhero performance since before the Avengers exploded and changed the overseas game.

 

[X05]

Overseas audiences are still Marvel fanboys and girls. Wonder Woman might edge out Ant-Man, but that's probably about it unless you go back to the pre-Avengers films before Asia and Latin America blew up.

Not necessarily true for LatAm, as BvS did absurd numbers on OW in some countries in the region, and pretty good in the rest (I think its legs were shit everywhere though).
The case for WW in LatAm is mostly between soured viewers thanks to both BvS and Skwad, and the sadly still prevalent machismo in the region.
At least I did my part for WW, and dragged several people to see it.

Marvel should swoop in and steal the last Chris for the set and make him Richard Rider in a Nova film.

lol, if that were the case I can hear the fangirls going crazy after learning the character is nicknamed Dick Rider.

None of this even happens without Snyder. No Gadot, and a WW film itself probably still scheduled to release alongside Half Life 3 and Trump's tax returns.

*Insert TDK ending quote*

*Amazing post with numbers*

Brilliant.
This will be plenty useful

TFA's $540m domestic in 10 days is always going to be the craziest box office run ever to me.

I mean, it was impressive in sheer numbers, but Titanic is still king for me. It just kept going and going and going...
Everyone sprints and that did a marathon.

The crazy domestic run gives it a decent chance of doing that. This is going to be the most US-centric superhero performance since before the Avengers exploded and changed the overseas game.

Not quite, both Green Lantern and Lego Batman had over 50% of their gross in the US

 

[kswiston]

I went to see It Comes at Night. It was an interesting film, but my theatre's audience hated it. I can see why it scored that D on cinemascore. Some people laughed when it ended.

If you are looking for a horror film, or an action thriller, this isn't the movie.

Not quite, both Green Lantern and Lego Batman had over 50% of their gross in the US

Green lantern was 2011.

I forgot about Lego Batman, but the Lego Movie didn't do all that well overseas either, so maybe that property was already more US centric. Plus, animation plays by its own rules.

You guys rock. Thanks.

No problem! Happy to help~

Bay, when you said it would be shorter, we thought you meant two hours tops.

This is going to be another slog like AoE...

 

[Mrbob]

Gal Gadot going to get paid. DC going to have to lock her up long term. Wonder Woman is going to be the main pillar of the DC Universe now.

His exact wording was:

Reports of #transformers The Last Knight being over 3hrs is wrong. It's shorter than the last 3 movies by a lot.

So by that logic:

Transformers - 2h 23m
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen - 2h 30m
Transformers: Dark of the Moon - 2h 34m
Transformers: Age of Extinction - 2h 45m

He's pushing it a little bit, but he's technically not wrong.

I'm trying real hard in my head to deny it, but yeah. Also, I stand by my 'edited per response' comment down from 3 hours to 2 and a half (sound familiar?) and expect it to be a raging mess. But that's hardly a bet when dealing with Bay movies.

Tue:  $8.5M   +35.57%
Wed:  $5.8M   -31.76%
Thu:  $5.3M    -8.62%
Fri:  $9.6M   +81.13%
Sat: $13.9M   +44.79%
Sun: $10.8M   -22.30%

3rd w/e: $34.3M  -41.39%
17 day: $266.5M

The weekend drop I'm giving Wonder Woman isn't much of an improvement over the prior one, but that's fine. The 2nd weekend decline was very abnormal for the genre, and often that means the next couple drops won't be much better if at all. The important takeaway with this "pessimistic" prediction would still be $10M higher than BvS's 3rd weekend, and the running total would be ahead of Suicide Squad at the same point ($262M).

edit: I'm not certain how well it will play on Father's Day. Actions films typically hold incredibly well on FD Sunday, but this appeals more to females than a typical action blockbuster.
