Wonder Woman Movie Discussion & SPOILERS

[Jim Kelly]

It's this male idea that a woman has to man up in order to be taken seriously in the world of men--she has to sacrifice something of what makes her female (maternal love, beauty, sexual fullfillment, romantic love) to take on the masculine attribute of strength. As if strength belongs to men and women can only share in it through some Faustian bargain. That's not true but it's what a lot of people think. In Cameron's mind, he's creating strong women, but he's locked in that thinking that women have to give up something that makes them female to obtain male power.

The truth is, male or female, we all sacrifice parts of ourselves in the pursuit of our goals--and Diana makes those sacrifices--but it's not a gender thing.

So, guess who locates a Mother Box...

Sweet!

I'm guessing it'll be the Mother Box that the humans claimed. One assumes that the Amazons and the Atlanteans have kept their box secure all these years. We saw one Mother Box being buried somewhere by what looks like human warriors.

Yes, they seem to go right to DVD on successful movies, a little quicker than the out-right bombs that also quickly go to DVD, and much quicker than just the decent movies.

I love your enthusiasm!!

"Also in Wonder Woman news, the Warner Bros./Time Warner Inc. film made its debut in its final territory, namely Japan. As is often the case, this big Hollywood offering opened in Japan way after it had played everywhere else. And it earned $3.4 million in its opening weekend. That’s not a barn-burning debut, but it is right between Batman v Superman ($3.3m) and Suicide Squad ($3.8m), both of which ended up with over/under $16m by the time they wrapped up."

I was hoping for more, but looking at the run for "Maleficent" in Japan it opened with $6.7M and then went on to gross ten times that.

Of course one thing that might significantly impact on the Japanese market is that the movie is coming out on digital release very soon.

Still, good to see that she beat out Batman V Superman.

Again! LOL

According to Deadline, Wonder Woman debuted in Japan over the weekend with an impressive take of $3.4 million on 598 screens, which accounted for almost all of the film’s overseas box office total of $3.5 million. As a result, the strong opening in Japan was enough to push Wonder Woman’s running take overseas to $400 million total. The publication pointed out that Wonder Woman’s $3.4 million in Japan was bigger than most male-dominated superhero movies, doubling the takes of such films as Captain America: The First Avenger, The Avengers and Thor in their opening weekend in the country.

It could still perform like it did in the US. Pretty good debut, then BAM!!! Blew the lid off every expectation!

I keep checking Box Office Mojo to see if they've updated their numbers to include Japan, but so far they don't show anything for Japan in the foreign listing. But if my math is correct and they aren't including the Japan numbers, then the foreign should be closer to $404 M and the total should be around $810 M. But without Mojo doing an update, it's hard to know for sure. This should get updated today or tomorrow, I hope.

Looking at the picture of Snyder reminded me there was ONE thing that disappointed me about the movie - namely that with all the effort to show soldiers from all over the then British Empire fighting together we didn't once see a live Aussie or Kiwi [New Zealander]. The only one I saw in the whole film was a brief glimpse of a guy in the traditional Aussie slouch hat in the photo's on the memorial.

A glimpse of what will be on the Blu Ray--

I don't think it's a deleted scene. It's an additional scene just for the DVD to promote the Justice League.

[Darkseid Is]

Is it a Justice League tie in? Or something to do with Cheetah?
