介绍:
Wonder Woman's female director conquers box office
Patty Jenkins' Wonder Woman took $100.5m at the US/Canada box office this weekend - the biggest domestic debut for a female director.
Jenkins beat the previous record set by Sam Taylor-Johnson for Fifty Shades of Grey, which opened with $85.1m in 2015.
Wonder Woman, starring Israeli actress Gal Gadot, has received largely positive reviews from film critics.
Hollywood is known for its reluctance to hire female directors, especially for blockbuster superhero movies.
Wonder Woman is the first female-led superhero film to be directed by a woman.
"Globally this property has just resonated with fans," said Warner Bros' distribution chief Jeff Goldstein.
