Put a number on that. Captain America did 370m, Thor 450m. They aren't considered to be a failure, right?
I'd argue that Wonder Woman is a much higher profile character than those two characters were at the time.

If you only have the American view, that might be true. However, she isn't big at all outside of that so it's fair to compare.
Maybe in the west. I teach in Korea, quite a few of my students have absolutely no clue who she is.
Female driven action movie written by people who didn't seem to understand the basics of neuroscience.
Wonder Woman is well known world wide, more than Cap or Thor or even Iron man before IM1 by a huge margin . I will even say WW is still more well known than Cap and Thor before Avenger.If you only have the American view, that might be true.

Packed summer schedule it's not going to make as much as you think.
There are only so many 3D and IMAX screens available
Compared to BvS
Compared to Suicide Squad

Of course she is. She's in that iconic group of 4 with Spidey, Bats, and Superman. Her name at least evokes an idea or image of her, even if no one really knows anything about her.
I think it depends on word of mouth more than anything.

600M WW, Which is good for female drive action films!
You guys are American? I really, really don't know if she belongs beside Batman, Superman and Spider-Man.
Underworld is a flop franchise and Resident Evil hasn't cracked 500M last time I checked.I'd probably agree with this if the likes of Resident Evil and Underworld hadn't been doing gangbusters for ages.
Come on, dude.
Ok. Second week.come on. this is absolutely not going to bomb.
and if by 'poisoned the well' you mean the quality of their last two films, batman v superman didn't stop suicide squad from being an enormous success regardless of both films respective (low) quality. and it's looking like wonder woman is gearing to be their first properly well received film too.

lmao what , she is in D Level of popularity. I am pretty sure people know green goblin ,dr octopus or joker more then she.
Underworld is a flop
franchise
Budget $212 millionDoes not compute.

When PoTC flops critically and WW doesn't, paired with franchise fatigue and a not so stellar Jonny Depp public image, I think WW might not be hurt as much as one would think by that movie.300-400~
Going against Pirates of the Caribbean was suicide. Lmao at the genious execs responsible for it.
But they would have known about Thor and Captain America?
I really hate the revisionism going on around this film that she isn't an icon. She is.
These discussions about popularity are so pointless in a world where Marvel made successful movies out of Ant-Man, Doctor Strange and the frickin Guardians of the Galaxy.

Besides, it releases 1 week after, just enough time for lukewarm WoM for PoTC to leave it free highway.
- Domestic: 110M
- Foreign: 130M
- Worldwide: 240M
- Opening Weekend domestic: 40M
Nobody is saying that the movie can't be successful because of her perceived lack of popularity in some places. It's just that as of right now she's certainly not Batman / Superman / Spider-Man tier in a lot of countries. It has no bearing on the movie's success but it's just a ridiculous claim.

I mean, Superman ain't Batman/Spider-Man tier either.
Probably not, but to be fair a decent amount of them have never lived in a world without the MCU.
Well yeah, I can agree with that.
He's probably still #1 in terms of name recognition but not in actual popularity.
I really hate the revisionism going on around this film that she isn't an icon. She is.
This is all I was debating. WW's name recognition is up there, regardless how you feel about her.
If you asked a hundred people at random on a German street you'd be lucky to find five that know about her.
No one is doubting that she is famous in the US. People are arguing about her supposed global icon status. How much evidence is there to back that up?
