‘Wonder Woman’ Breaks Glass Ceiling For Female Directors & Stomps On ‘Iron Man’ With $103.1M Debut – Monday AM Update

8th UPDATE, Monday, 7:10 AM: Warner Bros./DC’s Wonder Woman beat its Sunday projections and will end her three-day reign with $103.1 million at the domestic box office. The Patty Jenkins-directed movie, which also reps the best opening ever for a female director, grossed $29.7M on Sunday, down 16% from WB’s revised Saturday of $35.2M — a fantastic hold that’s on par with Guardians Of The Galaxy‘s Sunday (-18%). Again, a big win for DC here, because not only does the label have the box office to crow about, but also the awesome reviews (93% fresh) and audience reactions (A CinemaScore). Those were lacking with Suicide Squad and Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice. If there’s an indication Hollywood is changing its attitude toward hiring female directors, this summer shows it: Wonder Woman is one of eight features to be helmed by a woman, the others being Sony’s Rough Night (Lucia Aniello), Bleecker Street’s Megan Leavey (Gabriela Cowperthwaite), Focus Features’ The Beguiled (Sofia Coppola), Paramount’s An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth To Power (Bonni Cohen co-directing), Annapurna’s Detroit (Kathryn Bigelow), Fox Searchlight’s Step (Amanda Lipitz), and Open Road’s Home Again (Hallie Meyes-Shyer).
