The superhero blockbuster starring Gal Gadot is breaking records left and right — including on social media._  by [Raisa Bruner](/author/raisa-bruner/)  ## Raisa Bruner Jun 8, 2017 4:39 PM CUT  by [Raisa Bruner](/author/raisa-bruner/)  ## Raisa Bruner Jun 8, 2017 4:39 PM CUT _Wonder Woman_ is here to slay. Not only is the [superhero blockbuster](http://time.com/4810489/why-wonder-woman-broke-through/ "undefined") a box-office hit, breaking records in its debut weekend, but also it has officially nabbed the crown for [most-tweeted-about](https://twitter.com/search?q=wonderwoman&src=tyah "undefined") movie of the year so far in the United States. With more than 2.19 million tweets (and counting) associated with the film according to Twitter, it steals the thunder from previous titleholders [_La La Land_](http://time.com/4756946/best-memes-2017-so-far/item/moonlights-surprise-oscars-win/ "undefined") and[ _Beauty and the Beast_](http://time.com/4706209/beauty-and-the-beast-box-office/ "undefined"), both musicals which now sit at second and third place respectively for their popularity on the platform. Directed by Patty Jenkins and starring [Gal Gadot](http://time.com/4792759/gal-gadot-on-wonder-woman-audition-jimmy-fallon/ "undefined") as superhuman Diana Prince and [Chris Pine](http://time.com/4769957/chris-pine-snl-host-saturday-night-live/ "undefined") as her normal-guy foil, _Wonder Woman_‘s success has been a long time coming. This is the first time the iconic DC comics character has gotten her own silver screen vehicle, 76 years [after her first appearance](http://time.com/4539611/wonder-woman-comic-books/ "undefined"). A number of hype factors contributed to her domination of Twitter conversation: the record-breaking box office numbers (the highest recorded for a female director); [Gal Gadot’s](http://time.com/4527861/gal-gadot-wonder-woman-sexuality/ "undefined") breakthrough performance; and the heated anticipation for a female-led film to compete against the male-dominated superhero landscape, which is littered with [critically-panned](http://time.com/4709006/ryan-reynolds-on-green-lantern/ "undefined") attempts. It’s also riding high with a 93% [positive score](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/wonder%5Fwoman%5F2017/ "undefined") on Rotten Tomatoes, too. > [](https://twitter.com/ava/status/870859101089054722) > [](https://twitter.com/chrishemsworth/status/871025842595540993) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4810856/wonder-woman-most-tweeted-2017/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4810856/wonder-woman-most-tweeted-2017/"},"headline":"Wonder Woman Is Officially the Most-Tweeted-About Movie of 2017","datePublished":"2017-06-08T16:39:49.000Z","dateModified":"2026-06-24T06:57:07.850Z","description":"The superhero blockbuster starring Gal Gadot is breaking records left and right — including on social media.","url":"https://time.com/4810856/wonder-woman-most-tweeted-2017/","keywords":["movies","Newsfeed","viral","twitter","entertainment"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blta13b5b7d66bc7901/6988cf530b72e35e2e6ee03b/wonder-woman-4.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blta13b5b7d66bc7901/6988cf530b72e35e2e6ee03b/wonder-woman-4.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Film Review Wonder Woman","caption":"Film Review Wonder Woman","creditText":"Clay Enos—Warner Bros.
