Patty Jenkins has broken box office records for a female director after Wonder Woman had a strong opening weekend in cinemas. While Wonder Woman did not quite reach the $242m total reached by Fifty Shades of Grey at the global box office, it nevertheless performed well in international markets. It debuted at number one in many countries, including China, where its $38m total made it the fourth largest opening of all time at the country’s box office. Unusually for a superhero film, the majority of Wonder Woman’s audience was female. Wonder Woman has proved popular with audiences and critics.
