WONDER WOMAN Falls to #2 Spot at Domestic Box Office, Passes $570 Million Worldwide
DC Films’ Wonder Woman is a juggernaut at the box office. The movie has benefited from extremely positive reception from both audiences and critics, giving it strong legs at the box office. It only dropped 43% in its second weekend, one of the smallest second-weekend drops in superhero movie history. Also, the film crossed $500 million worldwide the other day.
This weekend, Wonder Woman relinquishes the top spot at the domestic box office, but continues to go strongly. Per The Hollywood Reporter, Pixar’s Cars 3 has won the weekend with an estimated $53.5 million. This brings Wonder Woman down to second place with $40.8 million, a 30% drop from last weekend. This is one of the best third weekends ever for a superhero film.
Wonder Woman is now at $274.6 million domestically and $297.2 million overseas, bringing its worldwide total to $571.8 million. It should hit $600 million any day now, and it will soon surpass Mamma Mia! ($609.8 million) as the biggest female-directed movie of all time. Also, don’t be surprised if it surpasses past DCEU films at the domestic box office, along with Man of Steel and maybe Suicide Squad worldwide.
