It's at least getting 10 quid from me next weekend.

Nah man, I think WB would be happy with 500+

If they get a $115M opening weekend, that number won't cut it. Just hitting $500M would be a collapse. If the movie opens comparable to Man of Steel, Man of Steel should be the target because this movie should review better, carry better word of mouth, and therefore have better legs.
It's roughly projected to do 300m Dom. If it hits that, it's very unlikely to bottom out at 500m ww

I know. I'm just saying, the studio isn't going to be fine with $500M+ if it opens at $115M, because that would be a monumental collapse.

Obviously, if the movie opens with Man of Steel numbers in the US and does as well internationally then yeah, 450 is pretty much impossible. What I meant is that in the grand scheme of things, removed from the recent tracking, for a "new" franchise that's not Batman and Superman and doesn't benefit from the Marvel brand, 450 is the lowest number they need to hit in my mind in order to garantee a sequel. The Trek movies have never crossed the 500 million bar but they keep getting made. So all I'm saying is... thingsarelookingprettygood.gif
If the overall reception is positive, and they break even or make profit, I assure you they will make a sequel.
Anything to keep the head out the water after suicide squad.
There are movies not for everyone like Man of Steel, and then there are insults turned into film like SS.
If they can get something everybody agrees on, they'll take it.

Think they're already talking about #2 on the press tour.

I mean they're making a Squad 2 and the only reason we didn't get MoS2 yet is because they went all in on making Justice League a thing
But are they all getting the Brunson bump?

Pirates of the Carribean reboot with Chris Pine as Jack Sparrow.

Because Guardians and Doctor Strange were these huge pop culture phenomenons before their first installments, right?
That is EXACTLY my point.
Even people who say she is not popular overseas is probably ignoring that she is STILL way more popular than those stuff that marvel printed money
None of the trek movies have crossed 500 WW???
Jesus. I think what that tells me the most is that these recent blockbusters by Disney have really skewed the perception of what a movie is expected to make

The Trek movies keep happening because Paramount doesn't have much in the way of franchises too
Hell, Batman v Superman is a Man of Steel sequel in every way but name so I'd argue we already got MoS 2.
True, but still. I don't have the numbers in front of me, but how many "blockbusters" not part of the MCU or Star Wars franchises really make billion dollars? It can't be that many
Soon we'll be getting The Godfather Cinematic Universe.

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
Wait so this is the old thread but they just changed the title? That's just confusing, should have been a new thread

She's better known then either, I would say she's not as popular as GOTG became though (largely because she wasn't Batman or Superman so for decades WB didn't care), and also because of the rights issue). She could become very popular again because of the film though, hopefully.

Hope it does well enough both for the DCEU and for a female led protag in a CBM.

WW vs Iron Man is like 1/100 know her vs 0/100
But as said many times, it don't matter at all. Not even in the slightest.
I don't know anything about her but I am open to finding her charming.
is he mad tho

She's definitely charming in Wonder Woman when she isn't spouting greek god nonsense.

lol you said that like impressions have been negative. as if you're dragging yourself to see it.
I have seen too many Gadot movies to be overly excited about going to watch this. 😂

This. The EE especially feels like a MoS sequel with a couple Batman scenes thrown in. I think that's why the hard-edged Bats bothers people so much, there's not enough set-up of his past and present state of mind for most viewers to justify how angry he is.
I mean, I let it slide because I get what Snyder was going for and I don't want an extra 30 minutes of set-up in the film. But I understand the frustration.
I hope that Wonder Woman is a huge hit for three reasons:
1) I want it to help break down the barriers between "female-led superhero movie" and the perceived "mainstream." Hopefully between this and Captain Marvel, we'll rarely have to hear the lame of excuse of "people won't go see it" ever again.
2) I want the DCEU to be good. I want it to be great and considered a "brand" in the same way that the Marvel Studios logo alone sells movies. Competition is good and these are just great characters that deserve to be in good movies.
3) Deep down, I hope Marvel Studios sees the success of Wonder Woman and decides to go ahead with a low budget Black Widow movie. I don't care how blatant it would look. I want it.
EDIT: I apparently forgot the "female" in "female-led." Oops.

My lord I hope it does. First live-action movie she's ever had. I need this to be good so we can get more female-lead superhero movies.
That about sums it up. If the movie is good (sounds like it is) and it does well financially, then it's good news for fans, DC, Marvel, and films in general.

Wanna see this movie with my mom. She remembers watching the cartoon when she immigrated to the states so it would be cool to let her see this in theaters!

That's about it. People are wary.
But it could be that nothing was ever asked of her in these other movies
She has a lot more to offer in Wonder Woman

When did Wonder Woman have her own cartoon?
