Trading on its strong reviews, the latest effort in the DC Extended Universe should pull an easy win at the box office. Wonder Woman has no serious competition for the top spot this week. Its chief competitor is the DreamWorks animated film Captain Underpants, which looks squarely targeted at children, which may allow it to do solid business, but certainly nothing spectacular. The second weekend of Pirates of the Caribbean won’t generate much enthusiasm, so the path is clear. Can Wonder Woman top $100 million in its opening weekend? That’s entirely possible, but I’m going to suggest it opens below simply because of mitigating factors that shouldn’t be mitigating in the least, but will be.
