Dunno, but let's leave those arguments to the fanbases on both sides. They can crunch the numbers behind the record-breaking debut of "Wonder Woman" this weekend and decide what it means that the DC heroine's origin-story movie opened lower than the other movies in the DC Extended Universe but higher than many origin-story movies and even some sequels in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. (Take that, Captain America.)

What's important is that "Wonder Woman" defied early predictions by cracking the $100 million glass ceiling in its first three days. Its estimated $103.1 million debut is the largest ever for a movie directed by a woman, for a movie about a superheroine, and for a female-protagonist comic-book adaptation. It's also the sixth largest June opening of all time and the 16th biggest superhero-movie debut ever.

Here are the ways "Wonder Woman" defied the odds and lassoed the gold.

The track record of the three previous DCEU films wasn't promising; they've all earned well, but their grim, humorless tone have made them a chore to sit through. And Warners initially projected that "Wonder Woman" would open with just $65 to $75 million. Granted, studios often lowball their own predictions so that the movie will either look like a surprise hit or at least a non-disappointment. Still, it wasn't until the past few days, once glowing reviews came out, that analysts realized the movie had the potential to do much, much better.

Look also at last month's other potential summer blockbusters-that-weren't, including "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales," "Baywatch," and Warners' own "King Arthur: Legend of the Sword." There was a simple reason audiences didn't want to waste their hard-earned money on those films. Fortunately, "WW," with its 93 percent "Fresh" Rotten Tomatoes score among critics and its great CinemaScore A grade among regular viewers, didn't have that problem.

And for the most part, Warners and its promotional partners among outside retailers stayed on message, to the point where buying a ticket to the movie -- and thus supporting actress-driven films and female directors -- was supposed to feel like a feminist act. The message even resonated beyond the United States, as the movie has already earned an estimated $122.5 million overseas.

And of course, the only other new wide release this weekend was "Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie," a superhero saga about as different from "WW" as possible. The DreamWorks cartoon, based on the popular kids' books, did very well among the under-12 crowd (which made up the majority of its audience), but while kid-ticket sales drove the superhero spoof to a $23.5 million premiere and second place, it's really not in the same league as the Justice Leaguer.
