Wonder Woman is the fourth-highest grossing action heroine

June 15, 2017 by Samuel Brace

Wonder Woman has become the fourth-highest grossing action heroine at the US domestic box office.

The latest DC movie is going over a treat with fans all over the world, and critics are on board too, providing a stark contrast to the other movies in the DCEU franchise.

And the good news isn’t stopping for Wonder Woman, as the film has now climbed the domestic charts, making Wonder Woman herself the fourth highest grossing action heroine ever (via Box Office Mojo).

Wonder Woman currently has a total of $221,460,634, putting Diana in fourth place behind the Hunger Games’ Katniss, Jyn Erso of Rogue One, and Rey of Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

Wonder Woman is quite some way off moving up a spot with Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 $60 million ahead at this present time.

However, this is certainly great news for the character and for the movie, and with more sequels bound to follow, Wonder Woman will be looking to climb even higher.

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.
