Wonder Woman surpasses Suicide Squad at the worldwide box office

July 10, 2017 by Gary Collinson

Despite new superhero competition from Spider-Man: Homecoming, Warner Bros.’ Wonder Woman continues to pull in the cash at the box office, with the Gal Gadot-headlined solo movie having now pushed its worldwide total to $745.8 million.

It’s already become the highest-grossing instalment of the DC Extended Universe domestically, and now the film has surpassed Suicide Squad’ $745.6 million to climb to second worldwide behind Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, which grossed $873.3 million last year.

Wonder Woman is also currently the fourth highest-grossing movie of 2017, behind Beauty and the Beast ($1.261 billion), The Fate of the Furious ($1.239 billion) and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 ($857.7 million).

Before she was Wonder Woman, she was Diana, princess of the Amazons, trained to be an unconquerable warrior. Raised on a sheltered island paradise, when an American pilot crashes on their shores and tells of a massive conflict raging in the outside world, Diana leaves her home, convinced she can stop the threat. Fighting alongside man in a war to end all wars, Diana will discover her full powers…and her true destiny.

Wonder Woman sees Patty Jenkins (Monster) directing a cast that includes Gal Gadot (Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice), Chris Pine (Star Trek), Connie Nielsen (Gladiator), Robin Wright (House of Cards), Danny Huston (X-Men Origins: Wolverine), David Thewlis (The Theory of Everything), Ewen Bremner (Snowpiercer), Said Taghmaoui (American Hustle), Elena Anaya (The Skin I Live In), Lisa Loven Kongsli (Force Majeure), Lucy Davis (Shaun of the Dead) and Ann Wolf.
