Ryan Reynolds had a hilarious response to Wonder Woman beating Deadpool at the box office

Wonder Woman has undoubtedly been one of the movie highlights of the year.

Not least because it means DC have finally turned out a good movie, after the unwaftable stinkers that were Man of Steel, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Suicide Squad. Despite the critical panning those three film got, they still made a shedload of money - there is, after all, no accounting for taste. However, it was heartening to see that Wonder Womanhighest grossing superhero movies has broken into the top 10 of all time. Patty Jenkins' film has taken a staggering $368 million, making it the highest-grossing film directed by a woman, while also surpassing Deadpool's $360 million, nudging it into 11th place in the superhero rankings. Ryan Reynolds, star of Deadpool, marked Wonder Woman overtaking his movie with a classy (and only a little crass) post on Instagram.

The Merc May Be Filthier, but Her B.O. is Stronger. Congrats #WonderWoman #BoxOfficeBoss
