Wonder Woman is on the verge of being the No. 1 DC Extended Universe movie at the U.S. box office.
The film’s U.S. box office totaled $325,083,830 as of June 27, according to the Box Office Mojo website.
That means Wonder Woman likely will pass 2016’s Suicide Squad ($325,100,054) today. Next up, also from 2016, is Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, which had U.S. box office of $330,360,194.
The DCEU began with 2013’s Man of Steel, which had U.S. box office of $291,045,518.
Wonder Woman’s global office still lags the other three DCEU films.
The movie’s worldwide total was $660,883,830 as of June 27.
It’s getting close to Man of Steel’s global box office ($668,045,518). Meanwhile the worldwide numbers were $873,260,194 for Batman v Superman and $745,600,054 for Suicide Squad.
Wonder Woman has been a lift for Warner Bros. Both Batman v Superman and Suicide Squad received many bad reviews. That wasn’t the case for Wonder Woman, which has a 92 percent “fresh” rating on the Rotten Tomatoes website.
In the U.S., Wonder Woman hasn’t had the quick box office dropoff experienced by the two 2016 DC movies.
UPDATE (June 30): Wonder Woman surpassed Batman v Superman in U.S. box office on June 29, according to a post by Scott Mendelson on Forbes.com. Its U.S. box office total was $330,529,475 as of June 29, according to Box Office Mojo.
