Predicting Summer 2017's Highest Grossing Movies
8. Wonder Woman ($600 Million)
Why It'll Happen: Though the DCEU's movies have all been ill-received by critics so far, they've also all been solid box office successes, pulling in an average of $762 million to date.
Though Batman v Superman's middling quality might have some impact on Wonder Woman's success and some silly sexists not wanting to watch a female-led superhero movie will also bring it down a little, it's still hard to imagine such an elemental character not being a solid hit.
Why It Might Not: If the reviews are horrible it could drop below $600 million (just as bad word-of-mouth made BvS drop below the widely-predicted $1 billion mark), and of course, being sandwiched between Pirates of the Caribbean and The Mummy is rather risky.
