‘Wonder Woman: 1984’ dominated the even lower US box office for the third consecutive weekend.
The super-anticipated sequel to Superhero once again had an impressive performance in a field that was somewhat without competition. The film is one of the only major official office bearers in the studio that was willing to release amid the coronavirus pandemic, which closed nearly all theaters in the United States. It’s also impressive as the box office numbers given the daring decision to release the film above and beyond theaters on HBO Max. However, it is expected that the studio will still lose money on the film.
According to Variety, “Wonder Woman: 1984” earned an impressive $ 3 million between Friday and Sunday, bringing its total to $ 32.6 million in the US and Canada. Overseas, the film has meanwhile grabbed $ 4.7 million, bringing it an international amount of $ 98.8 million.

Unfortunately for Warner Bros. the box office sales are still very far from what the film with an estimated budget of $ 200 million hoped to make a profit.

“I think what we don’t want to do is do it back-to-back,” the director admitted. “It was great to do these two movies in a row, but I think it’s important to give it some rest in between. And I like to do other things in between, and Gal has other things to do. I want to never make decisions too long before the time. We have to see if we both want to make the film we think we want to make when the moment comes. “
