The Hollywood Reporter is predicting that sometime early Friday, Wonder Woman’s box office will surpass Phyllida Lloyd’s Mamma Mia! in the box office, making it the highest grossing live-action film directed by a woman ever. Mamma Mia! made $609.8 million worldwide, though that number doesn’t account for inflation. Wonder Woman passed the $600 million mark on Wednesday, raking in $289.2 million domestically and $312.4 million internationally.
The next watermark would be surpassing Jennifer Yuh Nelson, who had solo directing duties on Kung Fu Panda 2, which made $665.7 million. You can probably guess what the next goal post would be: Frozen, which made $1.28 billion globally (oh my god). However, Frozen was co-directed by a man and a woman, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee. Wonder Woman is a wonder created solely by a woman.
