A month ago, box office analysts were being cautiously optimistic about Wonder Woman?s box office. They were saying WW would be a hit, but they thought maybe the North American box office opening would be about $65-70 million. When the review embargo was lifted and Rotten Tomatoes? fresh rating came in, all of a sudden Warner Bros realized that they actually had made a good movie that people actually wanted to see. So the analysis was that WW would make about $90 million. Well, good news. Wonder Woman broke the $100 million mark domestically, and she?s raking it in worldwide too.
In a defining moment for Hollywood’s gender problem, Patty Jenkins’ Wonder Woman grossed a winning $100.5 million in its domestic box office debut, the biggest opening of all time for a female director. Hollywood studios are notoriously loath to hire female directors, not to mention for a big-budget tentpole featuring a marquee superhero. Wonder Woman’s performance could put even more pressure on film companies to make women filmmakers more job offers.
The $150 milllion Warner Bros. movie, starring Gal Gadot, also launches the first film franchise featuring a female superhero after both Catwoman and Elecktra flopped in the mid-2000?s. Wonder Woman skewed female (52 percent), almost unheard for a superhero tentpole, which usually draws an audience that is 60 percent male. Wonder Woman becomes the 16th superhero film to cross $100 million in its domestic box-office launch, a list that is topped by the likes of Marvel’s The Avengers ($207 million), Avengers: Age of Ultron ($191.3 million), Captain America: Civil War ($179.1 million), Iron Man 3 ($174 million) and Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice ($166 million).

This is what many of us have been saying all along: there?s a real hunger for female-led action/fantasy/comic-book adaptations. There?s a real hunger for films that appeal to young girls AND their moms? around the whole world. And there?s a real hunger for studios – COUGH MARVEL COUGH – to step away from their sausage-party vibes. There is absolutely no reason why Marvel couldn?t have carved out some space for a stand-alone Black Widow movie. This proves that there would have been an audience for that story. Then again, I?m really glad that it was Wonder Woman who broke through – she?s way more iconic than Black Widow.
As for the talk of a sequel – of course there will be a sequel. Patty Jenkins and Gal Gadot are already under contract for at least one sequel, although WB hasn?t technically greenlighted it yet (but they will). Jenkins and Gadot recently said that the sequel would likely be set in modern times, and that they would skip out on doing another historical setting. Like, Wonder Woman isn?t going to solve the Cuban Missile Crisis. Or hang out with Don Draper.

Time Magazine has an excellent article about one of the most anticipated films of 2017, Wonder Woman ? you can read the full piece here. It works as a primer on the history of WW in the comics, as well as a primer on Wonder Woman?s history of controversy. WW always got sh-t for being pro-feminism, for being a superheroine for little girls, for looking like a sexy pin-up, and for daring to be glamorous AND strong. The most recent controversy for Wonder Woman saw her getting fired from her United Nations special ambassador position because she was deemed too sexy to stand up for exploited girls and women. In this Time piece, Gal Gadot speaks directly about the UN debacle and more. Some highlights:
Gadot on the UN firing Wonder Woman: ?There are so many horrible things that are going on in the world, and this is what you?re protesting, seriously? When people argue that Wonder Woman should ?cover up,? I don?t quite get it. They say, ?If she?s smart and strong, she can?t also be sexy.? That?s not fair. Why can?t she be all of the above??
Filming with a bunch of ladies in Italy: ?It was like a kibbutz, all of us living in little bungalows, beautiful and green with no cars. We had all these women in armor fighting on the beach, and meanwhile all the men?husbands and boyfriends?are walking around with strollers and taking care of the kids.?
Gadot didn?t want Wonder Woman to be bossy: ?We knew it was tricky. We wanted to find the balance between portraying her as confident and strong and feminine and warm. I didn?t want her to be a ball buster. I didn?t want her to be bossy. You can be powerful and also loving.?
Even though she served in the Israeli military, she?s a pacifist: ?I know it sounds cheesy, but I wish we didn?t have to have an army at all.?
Wonder Woman and feminism: ?I think people take it the wrong way when I say I?m a feminist. Feminism is not about burning bras and hating men. It?s about gender equality. Whoever is not a feminist is a chauvinist? We need to educate boys, show boys strong women in powerful positions. It?s all about expanding the possibilities of what women can be. I know I couldn?t do this without my husband.?
The body criticism she received: ?Did you see the feedback I got from the fans after they cast me for this role? It was all about my breasts and bottom literally being too small.?

I agree with her about Wonder Woman being strong, powerful, smart AND sexy, and that it?s absolutely ridiculous for WW to be fired from the UN just because she looks like a pin-up. Here?s what bugs me about what Gal says though: ?I didn?t want her to be a ball buster. I didn?t want her to be bossy.? This is a trap. This is the trap that Hollywood falls into time after time. Only women are called ?bossy.? Only women are called ?ballbusters.? Men who are strong and take-charge just get called superheroes and bosses. Only women and only female characters have to pass some kind of unwritten likeability/warmth/femininity test. What if Wonder Woman was ?bossy?? What if she didn?t give a sh-t about busting everyone?s balls? Why would that be a problem?
