‘Wonder Woman’ has biggest opening weekend ever for a female director with $100 million
Warner Bros./DC Comics finally has a major hit.
Patty Jenkins’ highly anticipated, critically acclaimed “Wonder Woman” made history over the weekend by winning the domestic box office with an estimated earning of $100.5 million, according to boxofficepro.com. That makes it the biggest opening ever for a female director (beating out Sam Taylor-Johnson’s $85.1 million opening for 2015’s “Fifty Shades of Grey”).
The movie — which stars Gal Gadot as the warrior princess who sets out to defeat the God of War, Ares — is the 6th biggest opening ever for the month of June, passing “Transformers: Age of Extinction” ($100 million).
Though all the previous Warner Bros. DC Comics Extended Universe titles (“Man of Steel,” “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice,” “Suicide Squad”) have had bigger opening weekends, none of them found the acclaim both by critics or the acceptance by audiences that “Wonder Woman” got.
Things looked good for DCEU on Friday when “Wonder Woman” earned $38.85 million, which is a record-breaking single-day figure for a female director (this is also combined with the $11 million earned on Thursday). The movie followed that with a $35.6 million take on Saturday. A minuscule -8% drop (but, technically, +29 million from Friday if you take away the Thursday preview screenings coin).
As expected, women came out in droves to root on Diane Prince. According to ComScore, 53% of the audience was women, compared to 47% being men.
Comparing other superhero origin story movies, “Wonder Woman” earned more than 2008’s “Iron Man” ($98.6 million), 2011’s “Thor” (65.7 million) and 2011’s “Captain America: The First Avenger” ($65 million), as well as 2014’s “Guardians of the Galaxy” ($94.3 million).
But it wasn’t able to surpass 2002’s “Spider-Man” ($114.8 million), 2013’s “Man of Steel” ($116.6 million), or 2016’s “Deadpool” ($132.4 million).
Despite that, “Wonder Woman” proved that female-focused superhero movies have an audience and Jenkins, the first female director ever given the reigns of a superhero movie, can make this kind of movie as good (in many cases, better) as the boys.

Nobody wants this mansion near San Francisco’s ‘Billionaire Row’ that’s on sale for $29 million
For nine years, an enormous mansion in San Francisco has sat idly on the market.
Despite the lack of interest, its owners have added millions to the asking price.
2820 Scott Street is a seven-bedroom, 11-bathroom villa located in San Francisco’s ritzy Cow Hollow neighborhood — within a stone’s throw of “Billionaire’s Row.” A listing first popped up in 2008 for $27.5 million. As time went by and real estate prices in San Francisco soared, the owners of 2820 Scott Street raised the asking price in order to keep up with the market.
For a whopping $29.5 million, this slice of Italian heaven could be all yours.

2820 Scott Street is not one of them.
It’s located just two blocks north of Broadway in the Pacific Heights neighborhood, which has been called “Billionaire’s Row” for its concentration of old money and tech execs.

HSBC: The dollar under Trump could repeat an ugly move that occurred under Reagan
President Donald Trump has been compared to former President Ronald Reagan in many ways.
In a note on Wednesday, HSBC strategists did this through the lens of the US dollar.
The greenback surged to a 14-year high in December as Wall Street was hoping for pro-growth policies from the incoming president, and as the Federal Reserve raised interest rates.
“The trajectory of the USD envisaged by our FX team is quite similar, but more compressed, to the way in which the USD behaved in the 1980s under President Reagan,” wrote John Lomax, HSBC’s head of global emerging market equity strategy.
“Reasons for the compression in the timetable include a much higher starting level of the debt stock; less cyclical strength, lower inflation and a more dovish central bank; and less political cohesion between the Presidency and the House.”
The dollar first surged from 1981 through the start of 1985 in response to the pro-growth consequences of loose fiscal policy, Lomax said. But it reversed course as the US faced two widening deficits, with spending running ahead of revenue (fiscal deficit) and imports exceeding exports (current account deficit.)
HSBC’s currency team has four reasons why the dollar, which is about 6% off its post-election high, could weaken further this year:
- The political tide in Europe is turning in favor of the euro, following the French election; analysts at Bank of America Merrill Lynch had said Emmanuel Macron’s victory was the only market-positive outcome. But in the US, high expectations for Trump’s agenda could lead to disappointment.
- Markets have largely priced in a gradual pace of tightening by the Federal Reserve. The risks and focus are now with the European Central Bank, which is in the process of easing.
- A “cyclical to structural shift” on US fiscal policy: The cyclical benefits of stimulus could be overshadowed by structural concerns about the deficit.
- “The US wants a weaker USD,” the team said. The administration’s emphasis on unfair trade and emphasis on a weaker dollar would create twin deficits, similar to under Reagan.
