Let's not forget that Wonder Woman is a solo film. The other modern superhero films that she's being compared to that made more were team up movies. The other solo films made less opening weekend such as Dr. Strange, ant-man, etc. so I think Wonder Woman is doing better than it could've.
Ukaran no lmao I'm just meaning that solo films normally don't make as much as the team up films. And there was a lot going against this film, the main actress being unknown, it being a female lead superhero film, the receptions of the past DCEU films, etc. it's doing great in spite of all of these. I was meaning that she made more than the other recent solo films but not as much as the team up films and that's normal but good that she made more than the other solo films.
I think it helped that she was one of the more shining moments of BvS and that she has a real name behind her. Wonder Woman is a brand. Nobody knew too much about Dr. Strange and Ant Man besides the Marvel logo. Marvel has done really well with building their credibility. It didn't surprise me she did as well as she did, DC should have an easier time than Marvel(No X-men and FF4) considering DC's heroes are more well known.
Kelli Lescure oh yah DC has the A list superheroes in there bag. That's why even though BVS and Suicide Squad were viewed negatively, they still made money because of the characters involved. Now DC has a film is both doing well box office wise but also critically. Let's just hope that her final box office to be good enough for DC to see what the fans and viewers collectively want in the future of the films. Side note, Man of Steel bored me, I actually liked BVS, and had my ups and downs with Suicide Squad. So the DCEU has been a roller coaster. Hopefully Justice League can keep this win up.
Israel has every right to defend itself after suffering 4 major acts of war by neighboring countries + constant terrorism coming from Palestine. Palestine is also a shithole where women suffer despicable violence at the hands of palestinian men and LGBT is actively persecuted.
Grace, your channel inspires me so much and has made me enjoy movies and look at them in a different way, and I just want to say you are my favourite youtuber :)
I just wanted to let you know that WW isn't premiered yet in big box office countries like Germany, Japan and some others...also didn't debut yet in Netherlands and others for lesser box office income! I think it debuts on 15th of June in those countries! I think you can safely add 50-70 million dollars to the current foreign box office total easily!
Anyone remembers the 65 million opening for Wonder Woman? People WANTED this movie to fail and it's still fighting and shutting everyone up. I am loving it!
Great point about the downsides of overly-positive coverage. Tbh I don't expect youtubers to try to cover superhero movies objectively, so your integrity is refreshing.
GRACE! I just wanted to say that you are one of my favourite UA-camrs and you work so hard to get us incredible quality content. I just thought I would tell you how good you are :)
I've been saying this years. North American box office is not the be all end all for movies anymore. Worldwide box office total is all that matters now.
I've seen WW four times already. Taking a good friend to see it tomorrow. Might go over the weekend too. It's just that inspirational... and the love story is just that good!
Surpassing Man of Steel alone is a huge win for Wonder Woman. MOS had twice the budget and has Hollywood stars like Kevin Costner, Diane Lane, Russell Crowe, Laurence Fishburne, and Amy Adams. Wonder Woman had to overcome the stink of the DCEU, had no huge stars, and had a smaller budget. For it to pass Man of Steel shows how the everyone accepted it and thought it was better.
what I loved about wonder woman is that my dad and I, very politically different, both really enjoyed the film. I had taken to BvS last year and it was meh ans when I said I wanted to see WW for my birthday, he was nervous. But he loved it and thought it was genuinely good film not just a good superhero movie, he didn't give a crap that it was lead by a lady. I like that this movie was able to shut both of us up over the whole SJW vs anti-political correctness debate. we were both able to just enjoy ourselves for a couple hours.
Yes, this is an odd time to be living where one can supposedly only enjoy a movie if they are "represented". This is utter nonsense and always has been. Didn't everyone growing up root for Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz, for just one example? I could go on and on including the huge box office success of women movie stars all the way back to the silent film era. Even the fact that you would point out your father's politics as it relates to this topic demonstrates how strange things are at this time in history. I mean, it's Wonder Woman for cripes sake -- what do politics have to do with it? But, sadly, I know just what you mean. Unfortunately a huge part of the population is invested in saying that humans are different, not the same. Too bad.
Iven It was AWESOME!! The music will also be an emotional experience when you're watching the movie!! I've seen it twice and planning on a third time!! Enjoy!!
gix2lee i Love good Soundtracks. The Wonder woman Theme already sounds amazing in the Trailers. A third time? The Film has to be AWESOME!! i'm so excited😁
I'm from New Zealand and currently traveling around the US, and found your ticket prices are so low (under $10) even the Imax screenings. At home I would be paying between $20 - $30 for an evening screening, and that's without any bells or whistles. Could international ticket prices on average being higher than US be a factor in larger box office? I've found the general experience here very good and on pair with back home, maybe I've just been lucky. Give Alex Kirkman a break I've enjoyed a lot of his work in the past starting with his TV work it's not all doom and gloom, we don't know what happens behind closed doors when producing these products.
Grace I love your Movie Math analysis! I love the connection to theme parks- merchandise- foreign box office etc. Really shows how far Hollywood reaches! 😲
Grace, my friend saw Wonder Woman, but he didn't understand the whole DCEU concept, so I explained it to him. He's also not a comic-book fan, but he likes Wonder Woman and The Dark Knight trilogy. Thanks so much for teaching me all about that stuff!
This is the only movie channel I visit on YT. Nobody but Grace does analytics. Anyone can review a movie but I love the delving and speculation into the background. EDIT: Plus she loves Saving Mr Banks, which has burst it's way into my top five.
I don't how you can compare The Boss Baby's 487 million Box Office after 10 weeks to Wonder Woman's 435 million Box Office in only 10 days. And comparisons to Pirates is unfair as that is a proven franchise money maker especially overseas.
WTF why are you comparing WW to Boss Baby??? That shit has been out for two months so of course it's at 400m worldwide. Btw, WW was never expected by to join the billion club. I dunno why you're bringing up all these 'negatives' that aren't even relevant.
Mike Ho That's just what she does. Grace has been pretty negative towards WW. She even expected it to have a huge drop, but since that didn't happen she tries to find something else negative. I find it funny tbh.
J - STAR yea she's pretty negative to the film, which you can tell from how its in her top 3 fav films. also I don't know why she would predict it to have a high box office drop, its not as if suicide squad and BvS would suggest that. I just don't get her!
Oshen and Lou mertens, WORD. Grace has shipped WW like crazy! although i would agree that comparing it to boss baby this early in its cinematic run is not really fair. and yeah, WW was never really expected to make the billion dollar club, even grace herself mentions this in an earlier video.
J - STAR ur a fucking idiot; she's being realistic, it isn't doing fantastically overseas and the drop was a giant surprise to everybody, she wasn't going to be naive just because she loved the movie.
Grace your videos are amazing and I have been a loyal subscriber for a few years now and I just want to say you are a real inspiration to me and you bring a true insight into the modern day movie business thank you so much !
Grace, you need to check Angelina's overseas numbers. She has ALWAYS had controversial press but her overseas numbers are usually very good even for something as unwatchable as The Tourist. But that isn't the issue. The issue is Universal bandying about her name like so many other media outlets do so as to get eyes and ears focused their way. Angie is probably not interested as she has stated previously that she would rather direct than act and indeed Netlix will be showing her latest directorial effort later this fall.
Why are you comparing Wonder Woman to team up movies like Civil War, Suicide Squad and BVS? Compare her movie to other solo outings! She surpasses the vast majority of them. Its looking very likely that WW will surpass BVS and SS domestically and become one of WB's biggest domestic earner(top 5)! That's amazing! Wonder Woman is a huge success!
Superhero movie tend to do lower numbers in Germany compared to others. Guardians 2 will soon be the most successful MCU movie in Germany with almost 30m $. So Wonder Woman ain´t gonna make more than 20m $.
The Showcase Lux Cinemas in the UK is amazing. Reclining Chairs make it like watching TV at home so I agree that overseas is a more pleasant experience
Grace I have been watching your videos for a month or 2 and I think you are one of the best content creators at this type of box office analytics I hope you have been nominated for a webby
I'll tell you what, although the movie going experience has been rough in the past, the AMC near me is undergoing major renovations and the new seating is AMAZING.
Wonder Woman will finish with about $350 million domestic which would be the most for the DCEU. Worldwide will be around $750 million right on par with Suicide Squad, Captain America 2, X-Men: DOFP, TASM, Maleficent, etc.
I doubt Wonder Womam will reach $350 million domestically. Maybe around $310-$325 million which is similar to Suicide Squad domestic. $750 million seems unlikely too because of the intense June competition. Think realistically when it comes to box office.
Wonder Woman made more for its 2nd weekend than Ant-Man's 1st weekend which ended with $180 million. Add the $148 million from WW's first week and it gets to $330 million. Also Ant-Man dropped 56% in its 2nd week compared to WW's 43% drop so $330 million domestic total may be a low ball estimate. The foreign/domestic split is 53%/47% so $330 million domestic means about $700 million worldwide. But it has yet to open in countries including Japan, Germany, Spain, etc. Man of Steel earned over $30 million from those markets and Suicide Squad over $50 million. So a $750 million worldwide total is possible if not likely.
Randy Nguyen Why are you comparing Ant-Man to Wonder Woman? Ant-Man wasn't well known compared to Wonder Woman's iconic character. If you picked Doctor Strange would of made more sense both movies made similar numbers at box office but Wonder Woman has a slight edge. $750 million unlikely because you're forgetting the new releases are coming...
Grace that 43% drop is a spectacular drop not only for superhero movies but for any block buster, you know what is the closest comparison in the 37% drop from the first spiderman which is from 15 yeats ago when it was consider a incredible good drop and the movies were not as frontloaded. NOBODY expected it to 1 Billion, people are enjoying the movie and the week drop are really good its doing better than the first Iron Man that was a great run for a movie, this movie does not need to break record i needs to do really well and it will the is at least 100m more domestic box-office, the comparison to wonder woman need to be first superhero movies not Team superhero, it gonna do better than Man of Steel and its all its need to do.
one little thing. I admire how the volume of your music (intro and outro) matches your voice. I say this because, I'd watch other reviews and the music is turn way LOUD! and I barely could here their voice which was actually what i clicked to watch!
Damn. You're so candid and direct when you venture into political discussions. No beating around the bush or fear to speak realistically. Much respect. That's very refreshing to see on a movie channel.
Grace, the way you explain the math involved with the movies is amazing, english is my second lenguage so It´s always a bit tricky to talk about numbers, but not with you, Thank you! Love from Mexico!
in my country people go to the movie and generally watch in silence. I once went to the cinema when visiting the USA and everyone was shouting, jumping up from their seats to yell at something that happened on screen, high fiving friends after an explosion and talking so loud that it was an all round horrible experience.
For those concerned about Grace's negativity, I actually see it as someone who really wants Wonderwoman to do well on the long run. In which "overpositivity" which may lead to backlash wouldn't help.
Great Video Grace!! One thing that makes me angry is the people that bootleg movies on the fire stick and crap instead of actually going to a movie or matinee!! As an aspiring Filmmaker and a Lover of Hollywood and Film industry....I get so angry with friends and family who do this and I tell them how I feel! I tell them what you are doing is very disrespectful of all the people that worked hard on making a movie come to life to be experienced inside a Cinema!! Breaks my heart and I wish it can Just Stop 😢
Wonder Woman is changing history! We're actually analyzing Wonder Woman in my film class! My professor said it's right below The Dark Knight in his all time favorites. He also has Civil War up there, so he can't be _fully_ trusted. Kidding!
Grace why is there enthuses on the "domestic box office" (which I believe is the US; I'm from the UK). Surely the gross Worldwide box office is all that matters (let's face it money speaks in Hollywood). Do the studios get smaller percentages overseas?
Gross never means profit, just how much money was made from overall ticket sales. The actual profit is usually significantly smaller, here's a list from Deadline that shows you how much money was made on a few recent superhero flicks in terms of pure profit. Iron Man 3 - $391.8m Avengers Age of Ultron - $382.3m Guardians of the Galaxy - $204.2m Big Hero 6 - $187.3m Captain America: The Winter Soldier - $166.2m Thor The Dark World - $139.4m Batman V. Superman - $105m Ant-Man - $103.9m Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - $81.31m X-men Days of Future Past - $77.4m The Amazing Spider-Man 2 - $70.4m Man of Steel - $42.7m
The movie companies gets a smaller return from overseas than domestic box office that is why it is more important. There is also with a weak domestic a likely downwards trend for the next movie they make. For instance there are several movie like Warcraft and Termninator Genisys that makes more money from worldwide than say the Mummy did but neither got another movie because of low domestic numbers.
Hi Grace. Should be quite a job getting these coming out so regularly. Proves you really like what you do. How long does it take you to research, prepare, record, edit, output one of these? I'm in awe.
As for the global revenue, here in Europe Wonder Woman is only starting this weekend, so that might be another reason why the global sales are lower than optimal.
I had been waiting for this video from you since I saw the 2nd weekend drop numbers. You made it a strong point that you were looking forward to seeing these numbers in your WW spoiler video.
Hey Grace, not a question but - Went to my local cinema (Live in Wales, UK) and suddenly, out of the ashes of bus-like seating, were these great, comfy, leather chairs with a little desk you could pull over your lap, and a reclining button (which was silent when used) Now, these seats have only been seen in the VIP section of every cinema i've ever entered before and usually cost a few organs or the sacrificing of your first-born. So, i was amazed (and delighted) to have this experience for the average ticket price, and it made my experience SO much nicer. (Seeing Wonder woman, by the way, loved it) Thought of you during that moment :') Wanted to let you know!
only 44 percent drop can only be achieved by movies which are exceptionally good,wonder women is is so and its also the 3rd alll time highest rated movie so...
I love this video...not just cos of the content Grace talks about, but also due to all the research she has done...love it!!! ^^ ...even though I didn't like The Mummy, I am looking forward to the Bride of Frankenstein.
Grace I really don't understand what you were saying about the Mara sisters. Yeah Rooney has never been a box-office star, but she's consistently acclaimed by critics and already has 2 academy award nominations under her belt. It's fair to say that audiences have rejected her, but Hollywood? I doubt it.
Marvel should move back Thor 3 to october to let the audiences breathe between these movies. Sure who wants to see both of these will watch it but lot of the GA will only one so they will hurt each other.
Why should Marvel move? They are coming out first. Thor 3's trailer was the most watched MCU trailer of all time. It has crazy good buzz. Let it come out. If Justice League is bad, it'll going to play like BvS. Huge opening number and then it will fall off a cliff. Wonder Woman made more money in its second weekend than BvS. Remember that Pixar movie CoCo is coming out 4 days after JL. If JL has a 60+ drop like BvS did it'll be #2 it's second weekend
That Buzzfeed graph is disingenuous because it deliberately ignored the first Amazing Spider-Man (2012). (I'm emphasizing the title, not my opinion of the film.) ASM only had a 44% drop in its second weekend. WW still beat it, but just barely. Had it been included, WW's performance would not look as historic as it currently does.
As a movie lover who travels around Asia, it is dismay to see that WW is so poorly promoted in the region. Pirates, The Mummy and even Baywatch dominated in terms of promotion and advertising so this clearly is reflected in WW's global results. That said, word of mouth for WW has been very good and that's helpful.
Let's not forget that Wonder Woman is a solo film. The other modern superhero films that she's being compared to that made more were team up movies. The other solo films made less opening weekend such as Dr. Strange, ant-man, etc. so I think Wonder Woman is doing better than it could've.
Ukaran no lmao I'm just meaning that solo films normally don't make as much as the team up films. And there was a lot going against this film, the main actress being unknown, it being a female lead superhero film, the receptions of the past DCEU films, etc. it's doing great in spite of all of these. I was meaning that she made more than the other recent solo films but not as much as the team up films and that's normal but good that she made more than the other solo films.
Ukaran He can because as Iconic as she is, this is her first solo movie just as the other characters he mentioned.
I think it helped that she was one of the more shining moments of BvS and that she has a real name behind her. Wonder Woman is a brand. Nobody knew too much about Dr. Strange and Ant Man besides the Marvel logo. Marvel has done really well with building their credibility. It didn't surprise me she did as well as she did, DC should have an easier time than Marvel(No X-men and FF4) considering DC's heroes are more well known.
Music you clearly don't no Shit about comics I'm a guy when I told my friends ww was coming out they hit the fucking floor Real fans
Kelli Lescure oh yah DC has the A list superheroes in there bag. That's why even though BVS and Suicide Squad were viewed negatively, they still made money because of the characters involved. Now DC has a film is both doing well box office wise but also critically. Let's just hope that her final box office to be good enough for DC to see what the fans and viewers collectively want in the future of the films. Side note, Man of Steel bored me, I actually liked BVS, and had my ups and downs with Suicide Squad. So the DCEU has been a roller coaster. Hopefully Justice League can keep this win up.
$435 million in 10 days for her first intro movie...thats impressive any way you cut it. I love it 😊
Wonder Woman isn't even out yet in a lot of countries, so it will continue making more money because it comes out in a lot of countries next week.
Sadly though it's also banned in some countries. Mostly over Gal Gadot being Israeli.
wildevil Wow. That sucks and is pretty racist
Releases in Norway this Friday. Two weeks late. No matter how good the movie is, I hope it loses a lot because of this.
So many stupid racist dumbasses out there. Just say you don't like Jews, don't spin conspiracy BS, just get to the point.
Israel has every right to defend itself after suffering 4 major acts of war by neighboring countries + constant terrorism coming from Palestine. Palestine is also a shithole where women suffer despicable violence at the hands of palestinian men and LGBT is actively persecuted.
Grace, your channel inspires me so much and has made me enjoy movies and look at them in a different way, and I just want to say you are my favourite youtuber :)
Aw! :) that means so much!
I just wanted to let you know that WW isn't premiered yet in big box office countries like Germany, Japan and some others...also didn't debut yet in Netherlands and others for lesser box office income! I think it debuts on 15th of June in those countries! I think you can safely add 50-70 million dollars to the current foreign box office total easily!
Is there a reason you always insert your politics into your videos?
her politics? she simply talks about inclusion and equality, human aspects that sadly many people just don't care about.
This is like the fifth time Wonder Woman shut haters up.
If Only Wonder Woman started de DCEU
Mike Felix Exactly
LOKorra how'd it shut haters up? it beat a movie that flopped, everyone knew that would happen lmao
Dropping less than 50% is impressive even if the competition was soft
And there are still people who have a grudge trying to downplay WW
"One little rotten tomatoes scores. And I'm to delicate to give it a try" Grace that impression made me laugh
Anyone remembers the 65 million opening for Wonder Woman? People WANTED this movie to fail and it's still fighting and shutting everyone up. I am loving it!
The major critics of the DCEU surely didn't.
It's Surprising that this is tom's biggest debut ever considering how big of a star he is and how long he's been in the industry
I was surprised about that too!
I was 35 seconds late from upload. Forgive me Grace I have failed you !!!
Just don't let it happen again. :P hehe!
Wow
Unite the seven, that should redeem you.
I watched Wonder Woman AGAIN yesterday! I srsly love this movie!
Great point about the downsides of overly-positive coverage. Tbh I don't expect youtubers to try to cover superhero movies objectively, so your integrity is refreshing.
GRACE! I just wanted to say that you are one of my favourite UA-camrs and you work so hard to get us incredible quality content. I just thought I would tell you how good you are :)
After rushing to get this done all day, thank u so much for this comment.
That's alright. Keep up the amazing work!
I've been saying this years. North American box office is not the be all end all for movies anymore. Worldwide box office total is all that matters now.
Chris Warden there is a reason transformers movie still made
I wouldn't go as far as saying it doesn't matter anymore especially with smaller movies. studios get less money over sees than domestic
North America is still the biggest market and usually makes at least a third of the overall gross. Usually.
I never said it doesn't matter. I just said it's not the be all end all.
Yup. A billion dollars worldwide for each film. $$ talks.
this is a great distraction from studying for exams😁
Same I have got a psychology exam tomorrow
dominic trotter mine is for gyp its an entire year poject what i should be studying but i prefer to watch BTT 😄
Bruh got economics tomorrow
Same omg
Music please don't be rude
Great job as always Grace!! 👏👏
You are one of the most honest UA-camrs out there. 😊
Somtimes brutally honest
Going to see Wonder Woman again this weekend!! How many others!!?
Huge Chris Pine fan. I'll see it at least once more, but a little wary of WB taking him away from Paramount.
Zacharias Tapp I saw it a second time on Saturday and am planning on seeing it again this week!!
Me! Just saw it for the second time.
I've seen WW four times already. Taking a good friend to see it tomorrow. Might go over the weekend too. It's just that inspirational... and the love story is just that good!
Yael Zyc I've only seen it once... But okkk? Could it just be it's a great film
Saw Wonder Woman last week. Loved it! Hope it out performs all expectations.
Surpassing Man of Steel alone is a huge win for Wonder Woman. MOS had twice the budget and has Hollywood stars like Kevin Costner, Diane Lane, Russell Crowe, Laurence Fishburne, and Amy Adams.

Hi👋
i'm from Germany and i will definetly watch Wonder woman with some friends. We are pretty hyped because of the positive critics👌
Iven It was AWESOME!! The music will also be an emotional experience when you're watching the movie!! I've seen it twice and planning on a third time!! Enjoy!!
gix2lee i Love good Soundtracks. The Wonder woman Theme already sounds amazing in the Trailers. A third time? The Film has to be AWESOME!! i'm so excited😁
I'm watching The Mummy

your trying way to hard to discredit wonder women,its gonna cross 800 mill
Grace I love your Movie Math analysis! I love the connection to theme parks- merchandise- foreign box office etc. Really shows how far Hollywood reaches! 😲
When grace said that universal should of been like " I'll do something for you, some back room deal" I couldn't help laughing
Lol I saw the box office for 'It Comes at night' and thought, "it only made $6?" How I lol'd.
Grace, my friend saw Wonder Woman, but he didn't understand the whole DCEU concept, so I explained it to him. He's also not a comic-book fan, but he likes Wonder Woman and The Dark Knight trilogy. Thanks so much for teaching me all about that stuff!
Been waiting for this all day, 😁
"hit that thing, like ridiculous" lmao Grace
I liked pirates 5. It wasn't as good as the first 3, but it was definitely better than the 4th one in my opinion.
This is the only movie channel I visit on YT. Nobody but Grace does analytics. Anyone can review a movie but I love the delving and speculation into the background.
EDIT: Plus she loves Saving Mr Banks, which has burst it's way into my top five.
I love that "Rage rage against the dying of the light". I love that poem.
I don't how you can compare The Boss Baby's 487 million Box Office after 10 weeks to Wonder Woman's 435 million Box Office in only 10 days. And comparisons to Pirates is unfair as that is a proven franchise money maker especially overseas.
Steve Shikadance and Pirates also had a one week head start Wonder Woman may end up making more because it's having way better legs
Steve Shikadance Agree. Grace makes some stupid comparisons sometimes
WTF why are you comparing WW to Boss Baby??? That shit has been out for two months so of course it's at 400m worldwide.
Btw, WW was never expected by to join the billion club. I dunno why you're bringing up all these 'negatives' that aren't even relevant.
Mike Ho That's just what she does. Grace has been pretty negative towards WW. She even expected it to have a huge drop, but since that didn't happen she tries to find something else negative. I find it funny tbh.

Oshen yeah, at least with Boss Baby she made videos on sequel ideas and villain ideas. She doesn't even want to come close to WW.
Oshen and Lou mertens, WORD. Grace has shipped WW like crazy! although i would agree that comparing it to boss baby this early in its cinematic run is not really fair. and yeah, WW was never really expected to make the billion dollar club, even grace herself mentions this in an earlier video.
J - STAR ur a fucking idiot; she's being realistic, it isn't doing fantastically overseas and the drop was a giant surprise to everybody, she wasn't going to be naive just because she loved the movie.
Great job Grace! I always love watching your videos when I get home from work!
So happy for DC and WB 😀 Universal doing not so bad too.
Grace your videos are amazing and I have been a loyal subscriber for a few years now and I just want to say you are a real inspiration to me and you bring a true insight into the modern day movie business thank you so much !
Wonder Woman did amazing for a superhero movie! That's it, I don't know why you're comparing it to ever other movie.
Grace, you need to check Angelina's overseas numbers. She has ALWAYS had controversial press but her overseas numbers are usually very good even for something as unwatchable as The Tourist. But that isn't the issue. The issue is Universal bandying about her name like so many other media outlets do so as to get eyes and ears focused their way. Angie is probably not interested as she has stated previously that she would rather direct than act and indeed Netlix will be showing her latest directorial effort later this fall.
been waiting for this all day
the little pictures you add are so hilarious
Why are you comparing Wonder Woman to team up movies like Civil War, Suicide Squad and BVS? Compare her movie to other solo outings! She surpasses the vast majority of them. Its looking very likely that WW will surpass BVS and SS domestically and become one of WB's biggest domestic earner(top 5)! That's amazing! Wonder Woman is a huge success!
I feel like youre trying to paint Wonder Woman as some sort of failure or say that its underperforming when it clearly is not!
Wonder Woman isn't available in Germany yet...I think it will gain 30-50milion in Germany at the end
marco Kitzer I don't think so... That's way too much for that country.
Superhero movie tend to do lower numbers in Germany compared to others. Guardians 2 will soon be the most successful MCU movie in Germany with almost 30m $. So Wonder Woman ain´t gonna make more than 20m $.
BVC Studios I thought we do better at comic adaptions xD
No sadly not. Same goes for Austria. Star Wars is really huge in Germany.
The Showcase Lux Cinemas in the UK is amazing. Reclining Chairs make it like watching TV at home so I agree that overseas is a more pleasant experience
I was waiting for this for the whole weekend (specially the Wonder Woman Box office analysis) :P
Subbed to your channel.. Amazing content and commentary
Grace I have been watching your videos for a month or 2 and I think you are one of the best content creators at this type of box office analytics I hope you have been nominated for a webby
Aw thank you!!! :) That really means a lot that you feel that way!
I'll tell you what, although the movie going experience has been rough in the past, the AMC near me is undergoing major renovations and the new seating is AMAZING.
Wonder Woman will finish with about $350 million domestic which would be the most for the DCEU. Worldwide will be around $750 million right on par with Suicide Squad, Captain America 2, X-Men: DOFP, TASM, Maleficent, etc.
I doubt Wonder Womam will reach $350 million domestically. Maybe around $310-$325 million which is similar to Suicide Squad domestic. $750 million seems unlikely too because of the intense June competition. Think realistically when it comes to box office.
Don't think that 750 million is unrealistic. I am leaning more towards 700 though.
Wonder Woman made more for its 2nd weekend than Ant-Man's 1st weekend which ended with $180 million. Add the $148 million from WW's first week and it gets to $330 million. Also Ant-Man dropped 56% in its 2nd week compared to WW's 43% drop so $330 million domestic total may be a low ball estimate.
The foreign/domestic split is 53%/47% so $330 million domestic means about $700 million worldwide. But it has yet to open in countries including Japan, Germany, Spain, etc. Man of Steel earned over $30 million from those markets and Suicide Squad over $50 million. So a $750 million worldwide total is possible if not likely.
Randy Nguyen Why are you comparing Ant-Man to Wonder Woman? Ant-Man wasn't well known compared to Wonder Woman's iconic character. If you picked Doctor Strange would of made more sense both movies made similar numbers at box office but Wonder Woman has a slight edge. $750 million unlikely because you're forgetting the new releases are coming...
Hi grace , I keep reading some comments on twitter that the WW hasn't open in several countries?? So hopefully it wil gain more money this week
Seeing WW Wednesday with my wife and sister! #cantwait
Man I love Grace, she's like that friend you always gossip with
I finally got you telling box office numbers, I hate missing your videos, a lot of info thank you Grace.
Grace that 43% drop is a spectacular drop not only for superhero movies but for any block buster, you know what is the closest comparison in the 37% drop from the first spiderman which is from 15 yeats ago when it was consider a incredible good drop and the movies were not as frontloaded. NOBODY expected it to 1 Billion, people are enjoying the movie and the week drop are really good its doing better than the first Iron Man that was a great run for a movie, this movie does not need to break record i needs to do really well and it will the is at least 100m more domestic box-office, the comparison to wonder woman need to be first superhero movies not Team superhero, it gonna do better than Man of Steel and its all its need to do.
Can't go by a day without watching one of your videos🙌🏼. Greetings from the UK😁👋🏼
one little thing. I admire how the volume of your music (intro and outro) matches your voice. I say this because, I'd watch other reviews and the music is turn way LOUD! and I barely could here their voice which was actually what i clicked to watch!
Wow! Only 43%?!
Damn. You're so candid and direct when you venture into political discussions. No beating around the bush or fear to speak realistically. Much respect. That's very refreshing to see on a movie channel.
EU here.
The last time I went to the movies, only 1 phone rang during the showing. It was my friend's that I came to the movie with. The shame.
been waiting all morning..finally..and thank you
Grace, the way you explain the math involved with the movies is amazing, english is my second lenguage so It´s always a bit tricky to talk about numbers, but not with you, Thank you! Love from Mexico!
in my country people go to the movie and generally watch in silence. I once went to the cinema when visiting the USA and everyone was shouting, jumping up from their seats to yell at something that happened on screen, high fiving friends after an explosion and talking so loud that it was an all round horrible experience.
For those concerned about Grace's negativity, I actually see it as someone who really wants Wonderwoman to do well on the long run. In which "overpositivity" which may lead to backlash wouldn't help.
love watching these video's! It is really interesting to see what developments are going on behind the screens! Thanks Grace!
A 'Bride of Frankenstein' movie made before any sort of 'Frankenstein' movie.
Because that makes ALL THE SENSE!
Great Video Grace!! One thing that makes me angry is the people that bootleg movies on the fire stick and crap instead of actually going to a movie or matinee!! As an aspiring Filmmaker and a Lover of Hollywood and Film industry....I get so angry with friends and family who do this and I tell them how I feel! I tell them what you are doing is very disrespectful of all the people that worked hard on making a movie come to life to be experienced inside a Cinema!! Breaks my heart and I wish it can Just Stop 😢
"People will see transformers ....well maybe " hahaa grace you're hilarious
Wonder Woman is changing history! We're actually analyzing Wonder Woman in my film class! My professor said it's right below The Dark Knight in his all time favorites. He also has Civil War up there, so he can't be _fully_ trusted. Kidding!
Grace why is there enthuses on the "domestic box office" (which I believe is the US; I'm from the UK). Surely the gross Worldwide box office is all that matters (let's face it money speaks in Hollywood). Do the studios get smaller percentages overseas?
Yes, they do get smaller overseas earnings. Midnightes Edge did a whole video breaking this down.
BetweenTwo Lungs Yes, especially in China.
Bo Xue OK. I assumed the "gross worldwide" was following cuts, but I assume it's just an estimate based on ticket sales.
Gross never means profit, just how much money was made from overall ticket sales. The actual profit is usually significantly smaller, here's a list from Deadline that shows you how much money was made on a few recent superhero flicks in terms of pure profit.
Iron Man 3 - $391.8m
Avengers Age of Ultron - $382.3m
Guardians of the Galaxy - $204.2m
Big Hero 6 - $187.3m
Captain America: The Winter Soldier - $166.2m
Thor The Dark World - $139.4m
Batman V. Superman - $105m
Ant-Man - $103.9m
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - $81.31m
X-men Days of Future Past - $77.4m
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 - $70.4m
Man of Steel - $42.7m
The movie companies gets a smaller return from overseas than domestic box office that is why it is more important. There is also with a weak domestic a likely downwards trend for the next movie they make.
For instance there are several movie like Warcraft and Termninator Genisys that makes more money from worldwide than say the Mummy did but neither got another movie because of low domestic numbers.
Finally, my refresh button can now rest !
You can think whatever you want, but that little girl is savage af.
yayy movie math is ready once i get home from work today :-)
Am I the only one who's dancing to the music at the end?
Awesome Grace!!! I think the habit of watching your videos has grown on me. Kudos from Cameroon(Africa)
Greetings to you in Cameroon from NYC! :)
Hi Grace. Should be quite a job getting these coming out so regularly. Proves you really like what you do. How long does it take you to research, prepare, record, edit, output one of these? I'm in awe.
saw wonder woman on the weekend I liked it a lot
saw a 47 meters down trailer before this video haha. Also i have been seeing many ads for it around new york city, more than usual for a shark movie.
As for the global revenue, here in Europe Wonder Woman is only starting this weekend, so that might be another reason why the global sales are lower than optimal.
Congrats to all the Wonder Woman fans :)
I had been waiting for this video from you since I saw the 2nd weekend drop numbers. You made it a strong point that you were looking forward to seeing these numbers in your WW spoiler video.
17:38 Yeah, it's been awhile since Prince Akeem Joffer of Zamunda visited Queens.
Hey Grace how come box office mojo is wrong, it says Pirates 5 is only at $528 million worldwide not $600 million?
Hey Grace, not a question but -
Went to my local cinema (Live in Wales, UK) and suddenly, out of the ashes of bus-like seating, were these great, comfy, leather chairs with a little desk you could pull over your lap, and a reclining button (which was silent when used)
Now, these seats have only been seen in the VIP section of every cinema i've ever entered before and usually cost a few organs or the sacrificing of your first-born. So, i was amazed (and delighted) to have this experience for the average ticket price, and it made my experience SO much nicer. (Seeing Wonder woman, by the way, loved it)
Thought of you during that moment :') Wanted to let you know!
I supported Megan Leavey this weekend and thoroughly enjoyed the film. I doubt mainstream audiences will never see the film.
"Dead on the table" "doesn't have a pulse", lol! 😆
Forget Frank Castle, Grace is the new "Pun-isher"! 👍🏽😂👏🏽
:P
I LOVE Kate Mara. She was BRILLIANT in Morgan last year and was EXCELLENT in portraying Megan Leavey in a film based on a true story
only 44 percent drop can only be achieved by movies which are exceptionally good,wonder women is is so and its also the 3rd alll time highest rated movie so...
I like analytical Grace. Helps me understand Hollywood better.
BvS has been doing great in assorted "at home" sales. so Yeah, that's excited.
I am on UA-cam alot. Haven't heard of 47 at all. ...still gonna see WW (twice)!
So happy for Wonder Woman
I can already picture the Indiana Jones esque sequel with Cheetah as the villain
Grace this was such a good episode of movie math. You should be proud 😍
Cars 3, my goals is to go see all the Pixar films:)
I love this video...not just cos of the content Grace talks about, but also due to all the research she has done...love it!!! ^^ ...even though I didn't like The Mummy, I am looking forward to the Bride of Frankenstein.
Grace I really don't understand what you were saying about the Mara sisters. Yeah Rooney has never been a box-office star, but she's consistently acclaimed by critics and already has 2 academy award nominations under her belt. It's fair to say that audiences have rejected her, but Hollywood? I doubt it.
Where's that JL vs Thor 3 box office question for Movie Math? :D
They'll be released three weekends apart in the UK. The studios know better than to get in each others way.
Marvel should move back Thor 3 to october to let the audiences breathe between these movies. Sure who wants to see both of these will watch it but lot of the GA will only one so they will hurt each other.
Thor:Ragnarok had the date first. I don't think Marvel Studios cares about JL. Plus they are very different films.
Why should Marvel move? They are coming out first. Thor 3's trailer was the most watched MCU trailer of all time. It has crazy good buzz. Let it come out.
If Justice League is bad, it'll going to play like BvS. Huge opening number and then it will fall off a cliff. Wonder Woman made more money in its second weekend than BvS.
Remember that Pixar movie CoCo is coming out 4 days after JL. If JL has a 60+ drop like BvS did it'll be #2 it's second weekend
keybladechosn1 not happening justice league will annihilate thor 3,and the critical reception of jl will be also better so..
That Buzzfeed graph is disingenuous because it deliberately ignored the first Amazing Spider-Man (2012). (I'm emphasizing the title, not my opinion of the film.) ASM only had a 44% drop in its second weekend. WW still beat it, but just barely. Had it been included, WW's performance would not look as historic as it currently does.
As a movie lover who travels around Asia, it is dismay to see that WW is so poorly promoted in the region. Pirates, The Mummy and even Baywatch dominated in terms of promotion and advertising so this clearly is reflected in WW's global results. That said, word of mouth for WW has been very good and that's helpful.
It's not THAT expensive in Russia, especially if you go in the morning. But most evening and even weekend tickets are not that bad either
The part of me that is stubbornly in favor of the original Mummy wants to see this tank but I still hope it is a solid movie
okay im sold, im watching Wonder Woman today 😄
