‘Wonder Woman’ remains mighty in second week
The audience for “Wonder Woman” slid less in the film’s second week than any superhero film in more than a decade, leaving the acclaimed Warner Bros. release No. 1 for a second consecutive week.
“Wonder Woman” sold $58.5 million in tickets over the weekend in North America, according to final box-office figures Monday. “Wonder Woman” thumped the newly released, terribly reviewed “The Mummy,” which debuted poorly with $31.7 million.
The Tom Cruise-led “Mummy” launches Universal’s “Dark Universe,” the studio’s big-budget gambit for a Marvel-like franchise of monster movies.
