>‘Wonder Woman’ Shatters Box Office With Biggest Female Director Opening. Ever.
>Lana and Lilly Wachowski previously held the record for “The Matrix Reloaded,” which opened May 15, 2003, and grossed $91,774,413 in its first weekend.
Thank you, Patty and Gadot for booting the moronic posers behind Sense8 and Jupiter Rising from their ill-gotten pedestal
Logan Russell
I thought Matrix films were directed by two brothers?
Juan Price
Had either of them transitioned at that point? Seems unfair to count them of not.
William Carter
Oh boy the DC stupid insanely specific and niche records are back
I can't wait for the Mummy to crush this when it gets that MASSIVE drop all DC movies get
Grayson Clark
No the first one did after Speed Racer but there were rumors of it around that time
Cooper Watson
that's a stupid comparison, because they're not a female. Transgender directors should be compared with their own kind.
Jacob Morris
They both transitioned.
James Butler
Wait, who is excited to see the Mummy?
Grayson Rogers
>I thought Matrix films were directed by two brothers?
They were. They're just drag-queens now and thanks to the bullshit that is SJWs, pretending to be the opposite gender means you're that gender now.
Carter Cook
Yes but they made the Matrix trilogy BEFORE transitioning. They don't get to retroactively set records for shit women did, do they? That's terrible. That's like F2M trans people competing in women's athletic competitions and getting first place. Oh wait.
Jaxson Torres
No one
But the drop is going to be so bad that it will easily crush Blunder Wimmyn
Mason Sanders
Neither of them had. So, while they are now female, it does seem kind of like an asspull to count them as the record.
Gabriel Clark
>highest grossing female directors >they were men Hopefully Wonder Woman inspires women to step up their fucking game.
Justin Reyes
Lol what?! The Matrix was written and directed by the Wachowski Brothers. Brother are men, not women. The title of the article you posted makes no sense. How can a film written and directed by two men have been the previous highest grossing film directed by a woman? That sounds like misprint or uninformed article writer if you ask me. Hollywood should be upset at this sexist article.
Sebastian Torres
>Not having Brendan Fraser at least cameo in it all my disgust
Austin Harris
That's cause Brendan Fraser is a literally who and the studio would be wasting whatever little shekels they'd need to get him to pop over for an afternoon because no one would care.
Ryan Baker
If you wanna make it more confusing, Lilly Wachowski said she has always been transgender, even when she was still going by Andy, but apparently she's pre-op and hasn't mentioned anything about going under the blade, so the only difference is really in the pronouns.
Lucas Butler
This he's a has-been no one cares about
Which means DC will announce his casting in one of their movies at comic-con
Kayden Bailey
Is Brendan in?
Owen Gomez
Did they really have to go to the Matrix to get a female director box office? They were male when they made it.
Cooper Cook
>HuffPo Into the trash it goes
Asher Wright
I can't wait until all Olympic medals on female branch will be won by "females"
Jaxon Adams
this film is pretty mediocre. It only did well because it didn't have any competition at the box office.
Asher Lopez
It's a bit of a predicament. Do they a) pick an actual, unarguably female director and pass the Wachowskis over, taking the risk of getting slammed with some contrived controversy, or do they b) pick the Wachowskis even though it makes everyone scratch their heads.
Juan Thompson
I hope tom cruise gets so buttmad about cape movies that he make an audition to replace Hugh as wolverine, he already nailed the manlet part.
Lincoln Wright
>Oh boy the DC stupid insanely specific and niche records are back This is hilarious because that's literally what Disney does for all their mocies, like "highest grossing solo hero debut" or "most watched online trailer"
Grayson Cruz
>"highest grossing film in the second weekend in August and it looked like it might rain"
Gabriel Parker
>Matrix Reloaded
Trannies shouldn't count.
Luke Bell
I dunno, to call Reloaded, made pre-transition, the highest grossing film by a female director insinuates that your interest isn't in the sociological elements of how well a movie can do if people know it is made the a woman, but rather, the psychological elements of whether women can make good movies.
Jacob Ward
>mfw he literally tries to steal the Batman role from Ben
Ian Myers
I am only because it starts the monster movie universe Sad Dracula Untold doesn't look like it will be part of it though
William Nelson
Brendan for Doctor Fate
Brody Young
>the psychological elements of whether women can make good movies Which is largely irrelevant to the amount of money it makes anyway.
Ayden Barnes
Same thing happened with Jurassic World but money's money.
Adrian Morris
That is exactly what happened. Because they were women on the inside the whole time, don't you know?
Austin Howard
It looks like it'll underperform, so they might throw it away, just like how they threw away Dracula.
Julian James
Had either of them transitioned at the time of shooting Reloaded, though? I thought they did that after.
Ryan Hernandez
I kinda like the idea of it, but I don't like the look of it. "A mummy raises hell in the modern world" is a premise I think is alright, even if it has been done before, but the movie just looks too big. It's like Suicide Squad, I think it'd benefit from having a story with a bit smaller scope.
Leo Wright
Everyone wanted to see the next episode of matrix, it's revenue has nothing to be with quality, but with expectations.
Matrix 1 was the best matrix movie, the next ones were too much Kung fu and riddles with no answer.
Evan Anderson
They won't they're too invested at this point since they announced Cruz, Crowe, Depp, and Bardem
Cameron Bell
>tracking to make 40 millions on opening weekend No one, it's just MCUcks being anally ravaged and pretending it's a big deal. Just like when they said Captain Underpants was going to beat WW and ended up making 5 times less
Luis Moore
>james cameron becomes a tranny just to fuck with them
Jonathan Stewart
>Had either of them transitioned at the time of shooting Reloaded, though? I thought they did that after.
Doesn't matter. They're both still technically men. They both still have male genitalia. Just a couple of mentally ill guys crossdressing and saying they're women.
Hudson Roberts
I'd pour myself a cup of coffee just so I could spit it out from laughing.
Jack Mitchell
>DC tears of impotent rage >in a post where he cries tears of impotente rage after Wonder Woman had a bigger opening than Doctor Strange, Logan or Winter Soldier lmao
Easton Diaz
I honestly am
Thomas Myers
I'm not excited but I will see it. Mostly because my mom likes Tom and she loved both Mummy movies (even though this one has nothing to do with them).
Wyatt Howard
What was the previous record holder when considering only real women?
Kevin Brown
I don't understand.
Xavier Scott
Based Patty. I hate the Wachowski trannies.
Nicholas Long
It starts the monster universe why is that hard to understand?
Jack Williams
I am honestly(no memeing, baiting, company waring) excited to see the mummy
Dylan White
Doctor Strange is a literal who, and Logans worldwide opening was bigger than Wonder Womans
Chase Long
can I kissu the mummy ?
Jose Flores
50 Shades of Grey
Hunter Gomez
>Doctor Strange Literally who?
Aiden Foster
If you want, but make sure to go to the doctor and get checked for curses after you do
Asher Young
that guy with the magic helment
Connor Miller
I just looked at the the top worldwide openings list and Fifty Shades of Grey still beat Wonder Woman by about $20 million, yet they're making a huge deal about WW 'Breaking records'
Leo Smith
>HuffingtonPost
Luke Rodriguez
That's Magneto.
Josiah Wood
>have live and let live philosophy >don't care about the Wachowskis being trans >more annoyed that everyone is focusing on that instead of the fact they're crap filmmakers I long for the day people are judged on individual merits and nothing else.
Because real talk, these two are really fucking bad at their jobs.
>both Hey, user's mom, Dragon Emperor happened whether you like it or not. Yeah, fuck that movie, but still.
Nathaniel Bennett
No, I think that's Thor
Brody Morgan
that guy from Thundercats?
Noah Ward
Domestic is more impressive for studios because they get a bigger cut than they do in outside markets
Elijah King
These flicks had a wider release (more countries) than WW. Domestic opening is the only thing relevant
Xavier Powell
To be fair, most who transition get thrown out the window so people who are women inside tend to choose not to transition until this day of age when less women are thrown out of Windows or murder them while at the navy overseas
Juan Harris
That's like trans people suing hospitals for not letting them retroactively change their birth certificates, despite vital medical reasons to keep such information on record. Oh wait.
Isaiah James
>Dragon Emperor happened whether you like it or not Not for her. She has Alzheimer and I'm not showing her Dragon Emperor.
Asher Kelly
>riddles with no answer.
They're called koans.
Ian Moore
kek
Gavin Cook
>in its opening weekend Wonder Woman has already made as much as Ghostbusters 2016's entire run on a budget that's nearly the same
Paul Feig and Sony blown the FUCK out.
Joshua Reed
>Huffingtonpost
What?
Jaxon Rivera
It's spelled """(((female)))""" you appeasing cuck faggot.
Oliver Stewart
>Capeshit has a much broader appeal than ghostbusters
No way
Evan Ramirez
>Wonder Woman in one weekend 100M >Pirates 5 in two weeks 114M >almost twice the budget JUST
Sebastian Turner
I might check it out this weekend but I'm not really looking forward to it.
The Dark Universe does sound interesting though.
Jayden Rivera
This m8. Disney is upset that they weren't the only studio this summer to release anything.
And no, Spiderman is released by Sony, who are already failing at promoting it.
Ian Fisher
I didn't even know Pirates came out what the fuck
Henry Walker
>Brothers directed Reloaded >years and year after Reloaded they have mental disability and pretend to be female >WB has to now pretend Reloaded was done by 2 females
This is the world we live in.
Carson Kelly
Can we stop with the special olympics already?
Owen Powell
Well the point is, if they hadn't transitioned at the time of filming Reloaded, then its a false claim. No matter how SJWs want to rationalize it, they were men at the time.
Hudson Brown
are they seriously counting trannys as females, and why even retrospectively count it? They weren't trannys back then
Bentley Adams
>Arab lady destroys London
Yeah I think it will do well in UKezikstan
Sebastian Evans
Wonder Woman despite being one of DC's "trinity" member is not exactly a lucrative property that will never match Superman's or Batman's draw power. Her sales are even weak in comics.
Logan (Wolverine) is a super popular X-men member riding on Deadpool's "R rated cape movie" craze that nerds went gaga for.
Dr Strange is the latest installment of a high grossing movie franchise where every decision made was to appeal to chinese box office.
Meanwhile Wonder Woman was the latest installment to a sinking ship of a franchise where the lead was a woman which was would have any investor nervous when they base their data on shit mistakes like Elektra and Catwoman. WW is lucky to make what it has so far.
Angel Ortiz
>Underpant's RT score is higher than most MCU flicks
Josiah King
I saw that movie for free and still feel like I paid too much.
>yes, I would like to see that children's movie please. >Wait, why would are you calling the cops?
Levi Parker
Why the fuck are they so desperate to have this movie """Break Records""""? They're literally pretending Reloaded was made by females just to say it broke another one
Elijah Ward
What the fuck kind of world do you live in?
James Miller
>not being able to see whatever you want >living in third world country
Nathaniel Sullivan
...
Nicholas Murphy
Because people are retarded and want an amazonian princess from a magic island to serve as an empowerment symbol for women.
Angel Stewart
>>>/leddit/
Connor Jones
Fake, they would send you to the popcorn mines before calling the cops
Owen Johnson
>all these goyim hating on beautiful Wachowski sisters OY VEY. Don't be literally nazis. If they think they are women, they are.
