“Wonder Woman” powered to $11 million at the Thursday previews, which includes a gross of $1.5 million at IMAX theaters.
Starring Gal Gadot and Chris Pine, the film was initially tracking for an opening weekend in the $60 million-range, but estimatesย quickly revised those numbers to close to $100 million. The studio remains conservative with a $70 million estimate.
The film, directed by Patty Jenkins, follows Diana Prince aka Wonder Woman as she leaves her home ofย Themyscira to stop the great war after a pilot lands on the island, and tells her about what is happening outside of the bubble that is Diana’s home.
