SMH is the 6th highest domestic grossing film this year so far, and that is after only 2 weeks.

SMH has a domestic gross of $225.2M after 13 days. Wonder Woman had a domestic gross of $227.8M after 13 days. So after a front-loaded opening weekend for SMH, SMH's domestic gross has already fallen behind Wonder Woman's domestic gross after just 13 days.

And given that Wonder Woman has had the lowest drops of any superhero movie in the past 15 years while SMH had a MASSIVE DROP of 62% on its 2nd weekend, Wonder Woman's lead over SMH at the domestic box office will increase even more as the days and weeks go by. By the end of the summer, Wonder Woman will be the #2 highest domestic grossing movie of 2017 while SMH will probably be no higher than #4.

has yet to open in China and Japan (where EVERY Spider-Man film has way out performed any DCEU film).

None of the previous Spider-Man movies were high school comedies like SMH is. SMH is at its core just a high school movie and high school movies generally don't perform well in China and Japan. So SMH will flop in China and Japan just like it's flopping in the US. Also, Gal Gadot is the most popular US actress in China so Wonder Woman will outperform SMH in China.

Didn't you also say SMH score was going to plummet?

And I was right. SMH had started out around 96%. Now SMH has dropped into a tie with Wonder Woman at 92%.

Whenever any Marvel TV series is brought into a discussion you leap in there and say they don't count because it's on TV and not part of the MCU.

I never said it didn't count or that it's not part of MCU. MCU has already said that Inhumans and all their other TV shows are part of MCU (even though they hardly seem connected to the movies outside of a minor mention here and there). What I said was that MCU only let female characters have lead roles in TV shows but not in movies, which is not as risky because TV shows have lower budgets than movies.

I also said that MCU didn't allow female characters to have a lead role in their movies because they wanted to only let their male characters have the big opportunities to become big stars that can come from having a lead role in movies but not as often from lead roles in TV shows. Hayley Atwell had a lead role on Agent Carter for 2 seasons and Krysten Ritter had a lead role on Jessica Jones for 1 season so far, but Gal Gadot is now a bigger star than Hayley Atwell and Krysten Ritter because Gal Gadot had a lead role in a big-budget franchise movie that was a huge success.
