With $131 million in global box office receipts, the “Wonder Woman” sequel has outperformed most fellow pandemic-era releases. Yet that doesn’t make up for the film’s mighty $200 million production budget, which is to say the latest outing for Gal Gadot’s DC hero will almost certainly lose money for the studio. Nonetheless, Warner Bros. has already greenlit a third installment with Gadot and director Patty Jeninks on board.

Outside of North America, Disney and Pixar’s “Soul” -- which skipped U.S. theaters to debut on Disney Plus -- continues to pick up steam at the international box office. The existential family film amassed $8.9 million from 11 foreign countries, boosting its overseas total to $47.3 million. Chinese movie theaters have accounted for a bulk of that haul, with $36 million in ticket sales coming from the Middle Kingdom alone.

Another Universal title “News of the World” managed third place with $1.2 million. The Tom Hanks-led Western drama, directed by Paul Greengrass, premiered on Christmas Day and has collected $7 million to date. Netflix has international rights to “News of the World.”

Shane it’s the second-worst film ever made

Uselessly long movie.

Better entertainment than Trump? Not to me! Trump best entertainment! More destruction than Hollywood or my own Tollywood can produce with all the latest computer technology! What a show on 6th at Capitol? Forget West Side Story! May be we need Bernstein for music?

This wasn't a great movie -- but it's not hard to be no. 1 when you have almost no competition b/c everybody else was afraid to release their movies.
