Gal Gadot thanks you for making 'Wonder Woman' the best-holding box office superhero
Remember when Wonder Woman was a huge success at the box office? It's been a month and a half — and she's not letting up.
Wonder Woman has held on better than any other superhero movie during its initial six-week run, dropping an average of less than 35% from one week to the next. It has an excellent chance to beat 2002's Spider-Man for the biggest "multiple" (the ultimate gross compared to its opening weekend) the genre has ever seen.

Wonder Woman opened with an astonishing $103.2 million in domestic ticket sales, grabbing the record for the largest-ever opening for a film directed by a woman. After its opening, the film continued to soar, rushing past recent DC movies Batman Vs. Superman and Suicide Squad thanks to positive reception and word-of-mouth.
Most comic book movies grind to a near-halt after a month or so, but Wonder Woman keeps on pushing forward, with week-over-week drops remaining particularly low as people keep going to see it in theaters.

WONDER WOMAN's initial week-over-week drops are easily the most stubborn of any modern superhero movie. Easily— Josh L. Dickey (@JLDlite) July 12, 2017
At this point, Wonder Woman has already passed Deadpool's $363.1 million domestic earnings, sparking a congratulations from Ryan Reynolds, and is pacing to pass Guardian's of the Galaxy Vol. 2.
And if it made $1 million on Wednesday (estimates aren't official yet) then it will pass The Dark Knight as the longest uninterrupted streak of hitting that number.
Wonder Woman is still playing in 3,000 or so theaters, so if you want to add to the cause, you've got plenty of opportunity.
