Wonder Woman breaks the record set by Fifty Shades of Grey for the biggest opening weekend of a film directed by a woman.
Wonder Woman’s box office gross isn’t the only new landmark to emerge out of the film’s opening weekend.
With any luck, the impressive achievement by Jenkins with Wonder Woman will help further close the gap when it comes to feature films with women at the helm.
The previous record holder was director Sam Taylor-Johnson’s 2015 smash romance thriller Fifty Shades of Grey, which earned $85.1 million in its opening frame in 2015.
