12 Huge Movies That Wonder Woman Destroyed At The Box Office

5. The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1

Box Office: $755.4 million

Speaking of screen heroines, few have been as successful in recent years as Jennifer Lawrence's Katniss Everdeen in the Hunger Games franchise, with 2013's Catching Fire pulling in an insane $865 million.

Wonder Woman hasn't quite been able to out-gross that installment, but it has beaten every other Hunger Games movie at the box office, most impressively the hugely-hyped Mockingjay – Part 1, which undeniably suffered from general audience apathy towards studios greedily splitting single books into two movies.

That Diana has been able to largely stand toe-to-toe with Lawrence's extremely appealing heroine is the ultimate testament to how well she's connected with audiences, especially young women.
