wonder woman

In a lot of ways, this year really stunk. But there’s one way in which 2017 was the best year ever: Superheroes.

'All of the self-congratulatory back-patting Hollywood’s been doing over Wonder Woman has been so misguided,' he said.

Did you love Wonder Woman? Did you see it a ton of times in theaters? Did you mis its IMAX run and wish you could see it again on the biggest screen possible? Good news! The Amazons’ greatest warrior is returning to select IMAX screens this Friday for one day only.

Given the film’s box office success and surprising - albeit extremely preliminary - Oscar buzz, it’s probably fair to declare 2017 as the year of Wonder Woman. And all this Wonder Woman excitement has fans asking: after we see the character again in this fall’s Justice League, what’s next for the star of the DCEU? Will she jump forward to the modern world in Wonder Woman 2? Will we continue to see her adventures unfold throughout the 1900s? Or will Warner Bros. do something really wacky with her character, like, I dunno, make her the villain of another DCEU movie?

And now it’s official.

After the smashing success of 'Wonder Woman' at the box office, a sequel was a no-brainer. But where will the Amazonian princess find adventure next? The USSR.

Did any new releases come out this weekend? I honestly can’t remember. Someone mentioned that there was a new Marvel movie in theaters - one featuring some sort of Spider-Person - but that can’t be right. I feel like I would’ve seen that, perhaps promoted on an unprecedented level for any superhero movie? Hmm. Well, anyways, here’s the weekend box office estimates as of Sunday afternoon:

Another weekend, another Weekend Box Office Report! While it won’t surprise you to find out that Michael Bay’s latest episode of Rock ’Em Sock ’Em Robots won the weekend, the specifics of that win come with enough asterisks to make even Barry Bonds blush. It was a terrible weekend for Transformers: The Last Knight one on continent and a record-breaking opening on another, which just goes to show how confusing this whole box office thing can be at times. Here’s the projected numbers as of Sunday afternoon:
