"and it is the highest among any Female Director...."


The majority of previous female directed movies were original properties and had lower hauls because of this. Those rare few based on pre-existing properties tended to try and twist the property making it not work as a faithful adaptation OR they simply had terrible scripts.

"Glass Ceiling Broken!"

The Glass Ceiling was broken many years ago;
- There have been female directors before
- There have been good movies made by female directors
- Female directors have been signed on to do Superhero movies before (Patty Jenkins before she chose to leave Thor 2 amongst other examples)

DC films have a tendency to drop dramatically so it might need to make as much money as possible this week.
