Wonder Woman 1984 may have suffered a significant dip on Rotten Tomatoes thanks to a more negative second wave of reviews, but Patty Jenkins' DC Comics sequel is still on track to becoming the highest earning film at the US box office since the COVID-19 pandemic took hold.
WONDER WOMAN 1984 Review: Gal Gadot's Diana Returns For An Emotional, Uplifting Sequel
Though Warner Bros. has yet to announce the official numbers, Deadline reports that Diana's second solo adventure is well on its way to nabbing the best pandemic-era 3-day opening since it released on Christmas Day, likely grossing somewhere in the low-teens. This would surpass Tenet's 3-day haul ($9.3M), as well as Croods 2 ($9.7M).
As the trade points out, this would be "commendable for the pandemic, but disastrous by normal marketplace conditions."
The movie's HBO Max premiere has not been quite as successful, however. Despite the streaming service maintaining that it "did not experience any significant disruptions,” several subscribers have reported glitches or problems logging on. To be fair, this is a regular occurrence whenever a popular title hits streaming, and the issues should be resolved soon.
