The title of a Forbes.com article by Scott Mendelson says it with even more certainty, "Box Office: 'Wonder Woman' Is Now Sure To Be Summer's Biggest Hit."
www.forbes.com/sites/scottmend…
Mendelson leads off with:
"Warner Bros./Time Warner Inc.'s Wonder Woman earned another $6.885 million in its seventh weekend of release, dropping just 30% despite losing another 347 theaters. That brings the $150 million superhero movie's domestic total to $380.686m in 45 days. That puts it around $6m behind Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 ($386.5m as of today) so it should pass the Walt Disney/Marvel sci-fi sequel by the end of next week (or soon after) to become the summer's biggest domestic grosser."
He also mentions how Wonder Woman's domestic gross compares to some top-grossing hits of the past:
"At $380.7 million, it is pennies away from passing Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part II ($381m in 2011) to become Warner Bros.' third-biggest domestic grosser ever, behind only The Dark Knight Rises ($448m in 2012 and sans 3D) and The Dark Knight ($534m in 2008 and sans 3D). When that happens, it will also be the biggest 3D movie ever in North America not released by Universal or Walt Disney since 20th Century Fox's Avatar back in 2009. It's already the biggest domestic grosser of any movie not released by Universal or Disney since Lionsgate's Hunger Games: Catching Fire ($424m in late 2013)."
And finally, he addresses worldwide grosses:
"In terms of worldwide grosses, Wonder Woman has now earned $764.9 million global (it earned $3.3m overseas this weekend), putting it within striking distance of Guardians of the Galaxy ($773m in 2014), Deadpool ($783m with an R-rating, sans 3D and without China) and Spider-Man 2 ($784m in 2004). It has already passed the likes of Amazing Spider-Man ($757m in 2012) and Maleficent ($758m in 2014). Again, $800 million worldwide isn't a guarantee, but if it catches fire in Japan on August 25th, well, that becomes more plausible every week."
Et voila! Wonder Woman is leaving her mark on the world and is going to be the one to thank for all the other superheroine movies that will be given the green light because Diana of Themyscira, daughter of Hippolyta, Queen of the Amazons, left her home, took all the fire, and, in the name of all that is good in the world, proved superheroine movies could be so much more than anyone except Patty Jenkins believed they could be.
Hurrah and Huzzah!

WW Won't Change the World? Bull-SHiP! She Just DiD
Please read this article by Mark Hughes at Forbes.com: 'Wonder Woman' Shatters Records With $200+ Million Worldwide Opening

So, naysayers, Wonder Woman won't change the world, eh? Newsflash: She already has! If you want more superheroine movies to ever be made, then you are going to have to thank Wonder Woman. Why? Because she is the reason that profit-seeking studios are going to green-light more female-character-based films. They all want a piece of that $200-plus million action.
Say it with me: "Thank you, W
Wonder Woman ... 'Nuff Said!
Fellow True Deviants:
I'm so glad to be hearing from some of you, my fellow Deviants, that I am not the only one who has been waiting for Wonder Woman my whole life long. Together with seeing the Lord of the Rings trilogy on the big screen and Captain America and Joss Whedon's Serenity and the triumphant return of Star Wars, all my dream movies are about to be complete except for Batgirl, Black Widow, and a good Jungle Girl movie.
Ooo, let me share links to get all fired up for Wonder Woman.
How about Conan O'Brien with Gal Gadot showing off her high kicks and butt-kicking fight skills? Try YouTube or Vimeo as follows:

See the Hero ... Be the Hero!
I'm starting to look at everyone in real life as superheroes, or the secret identity of a superhero. I think we all face enough pain in life that just making it through to another day can be the act of purest heroism. Ever since coming here, I've started to see heroes and heroines all around me, and I love it.
My fundamental perspective on life is changing thanks to everyone here, even if it is strangely happening because of seeing so many heroes and heroines in fantasy peril. My Two Steps From Hell music is becoming the soundtrack of my life!
Say hello to a stranger? Maybe they say nothing back and you are left only knowing that you made t
