New Zealand is, allegedly, located on Earth.

 

It's between Mordor and Atlantis.

Damn. Beat me.

One factor that needs to be considered is that Wonder Woman should bring in a significantly larger female audience than most comic books films.  I mention that because it changes some of the dynamics or "rules" that many in this thread are trying to apply from prior films.  For example:

 

1) Women in general buy advance tickets at a greater rate than men.  So pre-sales and "hype" for the film likely overstates the actual OW potential.  

 

2) Female movie goers are also more patient in their movie going habits.  Expect Wonder Woman to have "great legs" - both in terms of the Thursday to OW multiplier, and - especially given then reviews/WOM - from the OW to the overall gross.   

 

In other words, don't fret if the Thursday number or even the OW appears to come in soft; its more likely a sign of a different audience demographic than of the film itself falling short.

75+ ow will be good

90+ ow will be great 

100+ ow will be amazing

[DMan7]

So what is the ETA on those preview numbers?

BTW for all this kiwi / aussie talk in here for those of you who follow cricket, anyone watching the AUS vS NZ champions trophy match today?

I doubt it will be significantly higher than for Suicide Squad (46% women on first Friday):

 

Quote

The biggest surprise in terms of audience makeup was the strong turnout among females, who made up 46 percent of Friday's audience, according to exit poling service CinemaScore. That's unusual for a superhero film. Warners also succeeded in luring younger moviegoers: 28 percent of ticket buyers were under the age of 18. Both females and those younger moviegoers liked the pic better, giving it an A- and A, respectively.

They aren't off to a bad start, that opener for NZ thought he was playing a T20 match? lol 

 

Also rooting for NZ as well.

Um yeah. On 4 june it's pak vs ind.

And a random fact- pak vs ind 2011 semi final is among the most watched sports event with 1 billion people watching it live.

OK, coming back to topic, aus vs nz will be entertaining. Both teams are in good shape.

Don't really do cricket. Not my jam. Plus we lose too much.

 

The America's Cup though.

Things are getting interesting over there.

Don't see great WOM. People seem to like the movie but also from what I've read, most said they thought it would be better based on all the early "OMG THIS IS THE BEST MOVIE EVER" hype. Not to mention, Pirates is still out, The Mummy and Cars 3 coming up. Spider-Man in a month. It's not going to have crazy legs. 

[Nova]

No numbers and the bad WOM talk has already begun

Pirates and Mummy are nonfactors, while Cars 3 shouldn't affect the legs too badly
