I was wondering how much more revenue Wonder Woman could still earn. (2nd try) Here is one more column - is this any better? (I added #9 so the list includes all films ending (U.S.) between $400M and $499M as listed on boxofficemojo) Total Day 57 To-Go $323M $2,515 $77,591 26 Frozen $388M $1,060 $42,563 10 Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace* $393M $985 ? 27 Wonder Woman $394M $903 $10,059 23 Spider-Man $420M $839 $20,247 14 Shrek 2 $410M $829 $13,389 17 Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest $389M $824 $18,556 22 The Hunger Games $416M $631 $9,037 16 The Hunger Games: Catching Fire $399M $618 $15,784 19 Toy Story 3 $439M $609 $8,659 13 The Dark Knight Rises $451M $482 $7,738 12 Avengers: Age of Ultron $404M $416 $4,566 20 Iron Man 3 $382M $413 ? 28 Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 $476M $372 $10,510 9 Finding Dory* $405M $216 $3,220 21 Captain America: Civil War $397M $178 $4,812 25 Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (column 1 is total BO as of day 57) (column 3 is total BO after day 57) (columns 2 and 3 add 000's) (* = #10 made $431M in its first run and #9 was rereleased (+1700 theaters) during its 1st run for labor day 2016) (not included are #11, 15, 18, and 24 which all made under $360M on their 1st runs) I think the interesting comparison is #22 Hunger Games which was also an unknown movie property. That film ended at $408M and Wonder Woman is slightly ahead of that pace.

I was wondering how much more revenue Wonder Woman could still earn. I made a quick chart of most of the movies still ahead in 1st run revenue (as of Friday 7/28 - day 57) to see how much more those movies earned after that point. After flipping the numbers around a few times, this chart seems to have the bigger earners at the top. Day 57 To-Go $2,515 $77,591 26 Frozen $1,060 $42,563 10 Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace* $985 ? 27 Wonder Woman $903 $10,059 23 Spider-Man $839 $20,247 14 Shrek 2 $829 $13,389 17 Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest $824 $18,556 22 The Hunger Games $631 $9,037 16 The Hunger Games: Catching Fire $618 $15,784 19 Toy Story 3 $609 $8,659 13 The Dark Knight Rises $482 $7,738 12 Avengers: Age of Ultron $416 $4,566 20 Iron Man 3 $413 ? 28 Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 $216 $3,220 21 Captain America: Civil War $178 $4,812 25 Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (I didn't look at movies ranked 1 - 9 in revenue and 4 movies only earned $400M by including rereleases*.) The two movies that stand out to me are 1) Frozen because it was only at $323M by day 57 (no other film that made $400M was under $388M on day 57) 2) Spider-Man because it looks like they pulled it from theaters after it made its $400M (it dropped from 1502 theaters to 574 the weekend after it got to $400M) From looking at its competitors Wonder Woman looks like it has a reasonable shot at $410 and a top 20 slot. (currently IM3 at $409) (4 of the 6 comparisons that earned over $800,000 on day 57, earned over $18M after that day and $393M + 18M = $411M) Just some thoughts.

In the Richard Dix movie The Whistler, the character known as the 'deafmute' is always seen reading Superman #27 which was cover dated Mar/Apr 1944 and would have been the current issue of Superman during the filming of this movie which was released on March 30, 1944

In the Jane Russell, Frank Sinatra, and Groucho Marx movie Double Dynamite filmed in late 1948, there is a scene near the end of the movie when they are looking through a bank manger's desk and they find four different issues of the Dell Tracy series including #12 on the top.
