“It has most definitely been a high-profile summer for female helmers,” says Lindsay Miller, news and culture director of Popsugar. “Not only did Patty Jenkins’ ‘Wonder Woman’ have the highest opening weekend of any movie by a female director in history, it has already outgrossed so many recent male superhero movies. So far, the movie has grossed over $300 million worldwide, and Warner Bros. is expected to begin negotiations with the director on a sequel. Jenkins’ salary for “Wonder Woman” has yet to be reported, but according to The Hollywood Reporter, Warner Bros. is in the process of trying to lock her in for a sequel. Female directors have made their mark in the past, but never like now, said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for ComScore.
