Looks like it will also win the autumn box office, no pun intended.

N America is VERY important figure wise for Wonder Woman..it seems to have resonated in only a few countries the way it has domestically.... I can understand why there is focus on the domestic figures...not only are they very respectable, but the overseas figures seem to show that it was neither as popular around most of the world as a film, a Summer film or a CBM (it only beat SMH in 8 of the countries listed). Of the Top 20 Worldwide grossing fims it has the highest percentage made domestically. Pretty sure TDK and the original Star Wars film (though that one's counting re-releases) have a higher percentage of money made domestically compared to internationally. Regardless, WW was the character's first film, which means that there is plenty of room for growth with the sequel. The first Iron Man film didn't particularly wow the international box office either. Sorry, should have been more precise...the Top 20 films this year. I don't see how Iron Man and Wonder Woman are comparable. Iron Man was little known by the general public, whereas people wanted a Wonder Woman film after her appearance in BvS and she is probably in the Top 5 of most well known & famous comic book characters of all time. The films domestic performance should not and cannot be dismissed, but there seems to be a perception that WW wowed the world, when it;s far from the truth.

Again, Wonder Woman is a character who's never headlined her own film before. Also, she's never really been a huge moneymaker for DC. Even as far as the comics are concerned, characters like Green Lantern and Harley Quinn have sold better than her. With that in mind, her film hasn't even necessarily done poorly overseas. It just overperformed domestically. Internationally, the movie still made more than MoS and Logan.
