Talk about a woman’s touch at the box office:*Wonder Woman*helped close the gap between this summer and last with 2017 through five weekends now only down -3.4% from the same frame a year ago with $1 billion according to ComScore. This year’s (Jan. 1-June 4) U.S./Canada ticket sales, currently at $4.75B, continues to be 3% ahead of last year’s banner year. Overall, the B.O. for this weekend came in at $181.5M, +35% over the same period a year ago.

“This movie resonated globally,” beamed Warner Bros. domestic distribution boss Jeff Goldstein about the $223M worldwide result for the female DC superhero movie. “Wonder Woman is a woman for our time, and her message and the tone that Patty Jenkins set forth connects with now. Sue Kroll, Blair Rich and their marketing teams did a brilliant job with this film, and our publicity team screened it early and set the pace for Wonder Women*so it peaked on opening weekend.”

The success of*Wonder Woman*this weekend even impressed John Fithian, National Association of Theatre Owners CEO & President who exclaimed, ““I want to congratulate Patty Jenkins, Gal Gadot and Warner Bros on the terrific opening, but Wonder Woman’s success is everybody’s success. At NATO, at CinemaCon, we have for years called for diversity in movies that match the diversity of our audiences, not just because it’s a good idea but because it’s good business. What we really look forward to is the day when a movie directed by a woman and telling a woman’s story is no longer news because it was successful – or even that it was produced at all – because such movies should be a matter of routine. We will grow our audiences by telling more stories that tell their stories.”

Wonder Woman*easily*beats the opening of the first*Iron Man*($98.6M), though she still floats under the openings of such single (not team) superhero origin features as*Deadpool ($132.4M),*Man of Steel*($116.6M), and*Spider-Man*($114.8M). Currently,*Wonder Woman*is the sixth best domestic opening at the June B.O, and second best for WB and DC after*Man of Steel.*If she can get past the $109M generated by*Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen,*then*Wonder Woman*will own the fifth-best debut for the month.
Wonder Woman*surged to*after an estimated $35.8M*yesterday. Now, since studios include Thursday preview B.O. in Friday’s opening figure, Wonder Woman*is -8% from Friday’s $38.7M. However, back that $11M Thursday cash out of Friday, and technically*Wonder Woman*is +44% Saturday over Friday. .....

Screen Engine/ComScore’s updated PostTrak shows more women than men watching*Wonder Woman,*53% to 47%. Older women over 25 are still the predominant quad at 35%, followed by men over 25 at 33%. *Women under 25 have grown slightly from 17% yesterday to 19% today, though guys under 25 are still the minority at*Wonder Woman,*only repping 14%. *In regards to total positive score, women love*Wonder Woman*just a little bit more than men, 89% to 85%.

In addition, more women than men are definitely recommending*Wonder Woman*to their friends, 78% to 70%.*In North America, Wonder Woman*grossed $9M at 343 Imax hubs, repping 9% of its weekend haul. That’s the fifth best*D.C. opening *for the large format exhibitor behind Suicide Squad‘s*$10.6M and ahead of *The Dark Knight‘s*$6.3M. *Twelve of the top 20 runs for the movie were Imax theaters, and approximately 43% of the estimated worldwide $223 M was in 3D ticket sales.
