Gal Gadot’s ‘Wonder Woman’ biggest non-sequel superhero movie

(JTA) – “Wonder Woman,” starring the Israeli actress Gal Gadot, has become the biggest non-sequel superhero movie ever, beating out the 2002 version of “Spider-Man.”

The movie earned $404.1 million in the United States as of Monday, and has passed $800 worldwide, with the film set to open in Japan on Friday, Forbes reported. Forbes noted that if the film can take in another $5 million at the box office – and it is still being shown at more than 800 movie theaters in the United States – it will pass “The Hunger Games,” “Captain America: Civil War” and “Iron Man 3” in earnings. Gadot tweeted a thank you to her fans on Monday. “Wow! Just heard the news! Thank u to everyone who has shown their support to WW in theaters!” she wrote. “What an amazing ride this has been!” The film is set to be released in the United States on DVD and Blu-ray on Sept. 19. Warner Bros. has already begun preparing for the sequel, “Wonder Woman 2,” which is slated for release in December 2019.
