‘Wonder Woman’ is now the top-grossing superhero origin movie

Since the movie came out in June, Wonder Woman has been smashing records left and right. This time, it becomes the highest grossing superhero origin movie ever made. Director Patty Jenkins’ smash hit just earned US$821,750,942 worldwide. It overthrows 2002 Spider-Man film, which earned $821,708,551. According to BoxOfficeMojo, the three other best-selling origin films are Deadpool at $783,112,979, Guardians of the Galaxy at $773,328,629, and Suicide Squad at $745,600,054. These, however, have not been adjusted for inflation, as Business Insider points out, which means Spider-Man earned over a billion if that’s factored in.

But it still doesn’t detract from the success and popularity of Wonder Woman. It’s still the highest-grossing DC Extended Universe movie, highest-grossing live action film by a female director, one of the top five highest-grossing superhero movies of all time, and most tweeted movie of 2017. We’ll be seeing Diana Prince a.k.a. Wonder Woman next in the upcoming Justice League film.
