As Wonder Woman overtakes the domestic box office total of Deadpool (it is currently sitting at $368.5 million vs $363.1 million) and is also poised to eventually surpass it in the international box office, the Merc with a Mouth has taken to social media to congratulate the Amazon Princess on her success. Naturally, there is a subtle joke attached to the complement. Check out the tweets here…
The Merc may be filthier, but her B.O. is stronger. Congrats #WonderWoman. pic.twitter.com/jhP1hRAKlY

Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins was very appreciative, replying with the following…

Currently, Wonder Woman is the 10th highest grossing superhero film at the box office, and could potentially climb even higher by passing up Spider-Man 2 and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.
Additionally, what this goes to prove is that although R-rated blockbuster filmmaking is most definitely suprising expectations in impressive fashion, there is still a demand for PG-13 summer fun.

Before she was Wonder Woman, she was Diana, princess of the Amazons, trained to be an unconquerable warrior. Raised on a sheltered island paradise, when an American pilot crashes on their shores and tells of a massive conflict raging in the outside world, Diana leaves her home, convinced she can stop the threat. Fighting alongside man in a war to end all wars, Diana will discover her full powers…and her true destiny.
Wonder Woman sees Patty Jenkins (Monster) directing a cast that includes Gal Gadot (Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice), Chris Pine (Star Trek), Connie Nielsen (Gladiator), Robin Wright (House of Cards), Danny Huston (X-Men Origins: Wolverine), David Thewlis (The Theory of Everything), Ewen Bremner (Snowpiercer), Said Taghmaoui (American Hustle), Elena Anaya (The Skin I Live In), Lisa Loven Kongsli (Force Majeure), Lucy Davis (Shaun of the Dead) and Ann Wolf.
