Surprised this thread hasn't been made

This was the biggest box office hit of the summer and might single handedly save DC films in general over the next few years. It doesn't get talked enough on these boards, but the was a bonafide smash hit with a practically 4.0 multiplier which is unheard of for not only a superhero movie, but blockbusters in general, particularly in the summer.

So what happened? It wasn't just the first female superhero gimmick or this film would have not gotten the best legs for a summer superhero movie in years.

This was a mega hit!

Came out in the middle of the feminism bubble. That's literally it. Because the film is shit.

Not many folks think that

People can fool themselves into believing anything so long as they believe the message behind it.

The message behind the film is anti-war and complex nature of morality.

I meant the message behind why people attended. That was certainly NOT anti-war or anything to do with morality.

Maybe, but I just don't think the legs would have held up if it was a bad film.

Morons are quite easily swayed into believing copper is gold if enough people claim it so.

Some folks don't like gold if it comes from a miner they don't like

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen was also such a great film.

Different time, poor example, try again

Like seriously? You know that was a weekday opener, right? It would have opened with like 155m.

The movie went right.

There hadn’t been anything as good like it before.

Because the film was great. The $100m opening was good, but not all that impressive. A $250m finish would have been the same. The all time best legs from a $100m Friday opener though? That was earned on screen.

I didn't know, or well I didn't check basically. Not the best example in that case.

I guess we can say Wonder Woman has been some kind of phenom. One who's legs are surprising, I still don't think it's because of it's quality.

It was went Marvel films have aspired to be with a gorgeous, warm but tough woman as the lead. Feminism def. helped it as AA crowd will help BP.

No need to think about it. Quality is it, plain and simple. If it wasn't, Catwoman and Elektra would've been phenomenons.

It just didn't strike a chord with you. Same thing for me and Get Out. It did nothing for me, but I can't the film has an audience.

Different time, poor examples, try again

Fair enough.

Its success is still solely hinged on this then:

EVERYTHING!

u don't get 4.0 multiplier without everything working in your favor.
even chauvinist pigs like Algren went to see it.

I went to see it for Chris Pine and Ewan Bremner.

You and stuff are right. Feminism was created this year.

No, the films were shit and didn’t get an audience. Wonder Woman wasn’t shit and did get an audience. The end.

Which one was Ewan?

Nice. Glad to be quoted

WW is one of the most famous superheroes in the world and this was her first movie. As long as it was good it was in position be successful
