“Wonder Woman” is about to break yet another awesome record for women in Hollywood. This week, the Patty Jenkins–directed film not only crossed the $600 million threshold, but it will also surpass Phyllida Lloyd’s 2008 “Mamma Mia!” to become the highest grossing live-action film directed by a woman, The Hollywood Reporter first noted. “Wonder Woman” hit $609.5 million for its global sum ― $293.2 million domestic and $316.3 million international ― through Thursday, and will officially break the record sometime Friday, Warner Bros. said in a statement to HuffPost. “The real story is the fact that Princess Diana has really hit everybody ― young and old, male and female,” Goldstein added. The universal themes of what ‘Wonder Woman’ stands for are really positive.
