Movie Breakdown: "Wonder Woman" Becomes Highest Grossing Female Directed Live Action Film

The huge success 'Wonder Woman' is for DC and Warner Brothers just added another accolade to its name.

'Wonder Woman' isn't just a blockbuster, it became the first of DC's critically acclaimed movies and now, it is, officially, the highest grossing female directed live action film.

Even though it's a shame that gender distinctions are made when these type of achievements are earned, it's definetely a solid step toward change in gender bias. This means Hollywood can start to realize men and women can equally direct and produce critical and box office hits, like 'Wonder Woman' director Patty Jenkins did.

As of Thursday, the film surpassed the $609.8 million mark previously set by 'Mamma Mia', thus earning the previously mentioned title.

It is amazing how one movie can start a change, especially when it comes to big issues like gender bias in Hollywood. Congratulations.

Movie Review: "Wonder Woman"

Uplifting, thrilling and filled with sincere emotion Patty Jenkins's "Wonder Woman" redeems the entire DC Universe movies while bringing a completely new focus on what a female superhero should be, passionate, determined and, in the truest meaning of the word, strong. An Amazon princess finds her life completely occupied by female warriors interrupted when a pilot crashes near the island. After rescuing him she learns that the world is lost in the midst of World War I and vows to use her ability to save the world, believing it is all caused by an ancient Greek god she must kill in order to restore peace.
