DC's latest movie is Wonder Woman, and it hits theaters next month. Early box office predictions for the movie are in, and it looks set for a solid opening weekend.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, initial estimates suggest that the film is on course to make at least $65 million in its first three days. While this is well below the openings for previous DC movies Suicide Squad ($133 million) and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice ($166 million), it is in line with the debut for such Marvel films as Captain America: The First Avenger and Ant-Man.
As the site points out, Wonder Woman will be the first female-fronted superhero movie from either studio. In addition, while Wonder Woman is an iconic figure, the character only appeared briefly in Dawn of Justice and does not necessarily have the built-in box office appeal of Batman or Superman as yet.
The movie stars Gal Gadot, with support from Chris Pine, Robin Wright, Danny Huston, and Connie Nielsen. It is directed by Patty Jenkins and hits theaters on June 2, 2017.
