The movie Wonder Woman, directed by Patty Jenkins, has earned over $600 million worldwide since its opening day on June 2. That broke the record for a movie with a female director. Jenkins’ film now tops a list that includes other successful movies like Fifty Shades of Grey, Frozen, Shrek, What Women Want, Sleepless in Seattle and A League of Their Own. Wonder Woman sold over $100 million in tickets on its opening weekend. That was more than both Transformers: Age of Extinction and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Jenkins says her first priority was to make the best Wonder Woman movie she could. “So the fact that I’m a woman, or she’s a woman, or we’re all women, or whatever, was a wonderful deep part of it. But you just tune it out completely because I’m just a filmmaker trying to make a film that I care about that much, anyway.” Jenkins’ Wonder Woman is a superhero. She is strong, fearless and has special powers.
