The Princess of Themyscira is now the ‘Queen’ of superhero origin! According to Forbes Magazine, Patty Jenkins’ directorial, Wonder Woman, has officially become the highest-grossing superhero origin movie in the United States ever, beating Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man. Wonder Woman, which released on June 2, has made an estimated USD 404,008,376 million in the US domestic market, eclipsing the original Spider-Man’s long-held record of USD 403,706,375 million.
The film is the first female-directed, live-action movie to cross USD 400 million domestic and USD 800 million worldwide. The original Spider-Man movie, which starred Tobey Maguire as the titular hero, held that top spot since 2002. The only movie that came close to it was last year’s Deadpool, which missed the mark by about USD 40 million. —ANI
