There is no lack of advertising. They just started a month before the movie releases.

Exchange rates are worse. Pirates isn't doing 700-800M international.

The reactors are at least B tier industry people instead of WB employees like with BVS and SS.
That was fucking lame
Forgive me if I wait for the post-release verdict.
Still nowhere near the levels of prior DCCU movies.

Different strategies for different films. The way WB has handled WW reminds me of how Fox advertises the X-Men films, especially the Wolverine solos. I think they've done a pretty solid job so far.

This is poor logic considering their previous films had terrible word of mouth and still printed money. You don't change a working strategy. I hate that this reeks of the "she's a woman, so we're gonna dial it back" plan that's so prevalent in Hollywood, but, yeah.
There are no reviews. Only reactions.
The "reactions" for BVS and SS were similar.
Those were from fans not critics tho.

Hey man, 5th times the charm! Marvel's 5th outing gave us The First Avenger too.
There isn't going to be a reset if it fails. They'll just shelf the women and keep giving the male characters infinite do-overs like they've always done.

No, I know, and agree that they're worth taking seriously. But still, they're not reviews. That's all.
oh you just know people will try and contort their argument so that it still fits the 'critics hate dc' conspiracy narrative
like 'they couldn't give it bad reviews because it's the first big female led superhero film and they'd get to much flak otherwise' or something

I didn't realize Lucy did $460 million worldwide. I know Scarlett has name power but that's a bigger audience than I thought that might be a good target audience for WW + quite a few more.
I'm going to go $650 million, worldwide.

If Lucy can do almost 500, then I don't see how WW can't do at the very least 5-600.
OW: 115 million
Domestic: 275 million
WW: 785 million

Reactions from fan bloggers =/= reactions from critics. People with some semblance of credibility are the ones reacting to WW. Even if the reviews end up just being "fine", it's still more praise than most of these people gave previous movies.

I love the DCCU so far, but I have low expectations.
1. Baggage from BvS
2. I can believe Americans are highly anticipating a female superhero movie, but not so much for the rest of the world.
$300-400 mil is my guess. $500 mil max
I look forward to being wrong

Wasn't the average rating around 4.5/10 or so? Not really seeing what's hyperbolic about that. If anything, it's too forgiving.

I think it's gonna flop a bit, but maybe not bomb super hard. I haven't seen a lot of hype for the movie aside from WW on some cans of Dr.Pepper.
I can't see myself seeing this in theaters unless critical reception is amazing. I've been burned by Superman, BvS and then Suicide Squad so I'll probably sit this one out.
Worldwide take probably in the 300-400m range.

70-80 million Opening Weekend
150-200 Domestic
400-500 Worldwide
And then an explosion on home with the extended cut where you see Gal Gadot half naked.
But in all seriousness... it'll have a successful opening week I think. It's starting off the Summer Movies with no opening week competition. Wouldn't surprise me to see it do better than Pirates after the rough reviews have begun to trickle in.
Also, the following weeks competition is The Mummy reboot... which I think is going ot bomb. Wonder Woman is going ot have 2 strong weeks at #1 (dropping to #2 by week 3 when Cars 3 destroys the box office)

All the world is waiting.
On the topic at hand, i'm expecting roughly similar numbers as the first Captain America film:
Opening: 55 million
Domestic gross: 160 million
Overseas: 250 million
Total: 410 million.
That is some crazy good legs for a superhero film.
I was giving some thought to going all in and nailing my colours to the "$400m+ in the US" mast. I'm basing this off of nothing more than both Hunger Games 1 & 2 each doing over $400m in North America.
Given that those first two Hunger Games films really caught lightning in a bottle and engaged both male and female audiences I think that WW could possibly do the same but it's certainly not a sure thing.
Of course for this to happen WW would have to have an opening weekend better than Suicide Squad's and probably nearer to BVS's which is a big ask. It's a long shot to be sure but not impossible either.

Everything over 500 is really good, 400m would still be fine, albeit a bit disappointing. I really having trouble seeing this doing under 400m worldwide.

I understood that reference without clicking the link
No they hasnt. Suicide squad and BvS was shit and still cleared pass 500 million easily. Wonder woman will get near that lifetime.
You might not want to be throwing the word "delusion" around considering these posts.
First of all, Doctor Strange made $677m so "any more than $400m" is factually not in "Doctor Strange territory."
Second of all, Doctor Strange made $232m domestic and $445m internationally. So your split is hilariously wrong.
Not if DCEU GAF has anything to say about it! Time to take out another mortgage!
Pirates 5 is not going to make a billion. It could come close but it's not hitting a billion.
To be fair, BvS had Batman and Superman coming together in a movie for the first time.
Suicide Squad had the combined appeal of Harley Quinn, Will Smith and The Joker.
Wonder Woman doesn't have anything like that.

- Domestic: 194M
- Foreign: 213M
- Worldwide: 407M
- Opening Weekend domestic: 71.5M
At the very least I'm probably way low on the foreign side since I'm basing this on Captain America's performance and low expectations. >_>

Definitely, I don't give a shit about WW but I'm fucking in for a HQ solo movie.
I've always seen WW as a sidekick character, maybe this movie will change that.
I don't know but my gf actually wants to go see it in theaters. I mean she's really not into super hero movies but will watch it on rental. Nevertheless this the first time she actually asked if we're going to see it. I questioned her and she said having a female lead is different and refreshing.

$375 million total ($150 domestic. $225 overseas).
Word of mouth can change this, however I can't be optimistic about DCU.
