Gal Gadot’s wonderful performance in Wonder Women is fascinating the audience and is earning great amount.

Now, according to The Hollywood Reporter, Jenkins’ monster opening weekend with Wonder Woman is turning heads in the industry. Also, there was the classic 1970sTV show Wonder Woman starring Lynda Carter that raised her pop culture profile.

Overseas, Wonder Woman also won the weekend with $122.5-M from 55 markets for a global open of $223-M.

Before Gal Gadot became Wonder Woman, she was Diana, princess of the Amazons, trained to be an unconquerable warrior.

In “Justice League”, Batman and Wonder Woman will recruit the Flash (Ezra Miller), Cyborg (Ray Fisher) and Aquaman (Jason Momoa) to help them fight Steppenwolf.

Comparing other superhero origin story movies, “Wonder Woman” earned more than 2008’s “Iron Man” (.6 million), 2011’s “Thor” (65.7 million) and 2011’s “Captain America: The First Avenger” ($65 million), as well as 2014’s “Guardians of the Galaxy” (.3 million). The conversation surrounding critics’ impact on the summer box office swirled after “Baywatch” received an aggregate score of 19%, and proceeded to flop over the slowest Memorial Day weekend in almost two decades. While they’ve had impressive openings with Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Suicide Squad, it’s been the critical love they’ve wanted, along with stronger fan support. After receiving great reviews, a stunning rating from Rotten Tomatoes and box office giving it a thumbs up, the Gal Gadot starrer is here to drive Warner Bros and DC towards the right direction. Despite its huge plethora of supporting superheroines, Marvel’s movie universe will only put out its first lead female superhero flick, Captain Marvel, in 2019. The wondrous domestic box office numbers come from the movie’s debut on 4,165 theaters, giving the film its $100.5 million draw. This could be crucial to the film’s overall performance at the box office.

Box Office Mojo has published the latest weekend estimates. DC comics magic had not seen in past some release but this time Wonder Woman is stealing everyone’s attraction.
