MANILA | Arriving with power, grace, wisdom and wonder, Warner Bros. Pictures’ Wonder Woman pulled off the year’s biggest non-holiday opening day record as it grossed P48.39 million on its first day of release (including midnight previews) Thursday, June 1.
This was announced Friday by Francis Soliven, general manager of Warner Bros. Philippines.
The first solo feature film about the famed Amazonian princess-warrior, “Wonder Woman” bested the opening day gross of last March’s “Beauty and the Beast” (P47 million), and also claimed the biggest first-day haul of 2017 for a Warner Bros. title, surpassing “Kong: Skull Island.”.
Attracting 205,041 total admissions from 510 screens nationwide, “Wonder Woman’s” other first-day records include the second biggest opening day of the year, right behind “Fast & Furious 8’s” P56 million which was set on a Black Saturday holiday; third biggest opening day for a Warner Bros. film all-time (ahead of “Suicide Squad” at P29.7 million) and third biggest June opening day all-time industry-wide (outgrossing “Transformers: Age of Extinction” at P39.7 million)
Gal Gadot stars as the title character in the epic action adventure from director Patty Jenkins (“Monster,” AMC’s “The Killing”).
Now playing across the Philippines, “Wonder Woman” is distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.
