This week, Gal Gadot’s film Wonder Woman 1984 was a hit at the box office. Gadot recently reminisced about her time on set by sharing a video on TikTok, showcasing what she referred to as her ‘first-time dancing’ on the app. In the clip, the 35-year-old Israeli actress looked fabulous in an 80s-inspired outfit, wearing a pink sweater dress and vibrant neon accessories while grooving to Cyndi Lauper’s iconic hit Girls Just Wanna Have Fun with her glam team.
Having some fun: Gal Gadot recently uploaded her debut dancing TikTok video on Tuesday, giving us a peek behind the scenes of Wonder Woman 1984.
Gal appeared to be thoroughly enjoying herself as she settled into a chair to receive a gorgeous makeover from a team of professionals wearing face shields for added safety during the pandemic.
To further prioritize safety, her dressing room was set up outdoors, allowing for fresh air instead of being cramped inside a trailer.
While Gadot lip-synced, her hair and makeup artists worked their magic. The catchy chorus couldn’t help but inspire them to break into dance.
Even while seated, the actress threw her hands up and danced along, embodying the spirit of a superhero.
How cool! The 35-year-old Israeli actress looked totally 80s-chic in a pink sweater dress and vibrant accessories as she jammed out to the Cyndi Lauper hit “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” with her hair and makeup squad.
Happy crew: Gal seemed to be enjoying herself as she settled in for a glam session with three professionals sporting face shields to protect against the spread of COVID-19.
Too tempting to resist: While Gadot playfully mouthed the words, her glam squad got to work on her hair and makeup, but when the infectious chorus hit, they couldn’t help but join in and bust a move.
Gal playfully shared a hilarious moment on Instagram by sharing some candid photos of her quirky outfit behind the scenes. In the caption, she humorously acknowledged her first TikTok dance, which she never thought she would do but ended up doing anyway. Fans couldn’t help but laugh along with her as she embraced the moment and encouraged them to check out her dance video. With the success of the Patty Jenkins-directed film breaking pandemic box-office records and earning $16.7 million in North America, it’s no wonder Gal was in high spirits.
Snippet: Gal playfully teased a comical moment on her Instagram account by sharing amusing behind-the-scenes pictures of her quirky outfit.
Playful Banter: She jokingly teased herself in the caption, exclaiming: “Who would’ve thought I’d ever be dancing on Tiktok! Here I am, busting out some moves – check it out!”
Although Wonder Woman 1984’s box office numbers don’t compare to its predecessor’s massive opening, Warner Bros. considers it a success given the limited number of open cinemas in the U.S.
On a positive note, Warner Bros. has confirmed they are already working on a third Wonder Woman film, with Gal Gadot and director Patty Jenkins set to return.
Despite being available on HBO Max, specific viewer numbers for Wonder Woman 1984 have not been disclosed. Reports suggest that a significant portion of ticket sales in the U.S. are from private watch parties, where customers rent out screening rooms for a hefty fee.
Blockbuster Update: Wonder Woman 1984 has emerged as the most successful theatrical release during the pandemic. The movie made its debut on Christmas Day, raking in an impressive $16.7 million at the North American box office over the weekend.
When combined with its international earnings, the superhero film has now reached a global total of $85 million as of Sunday. The original Wonder Woman film, released in 2017, made waves as the highest-opening film by a female director and went on to gross a phenomenal $822 million worldwide.
Although the anticipation was high for the sequel to reach close to $1 billion in box office revenue before the pandemic hit, it is now projected to hit around $180 million, as reported by Variety. Despite the setback, Wonder Woman 1984 continues to draw audiences and make its mark in the film industry.
In comparison to the massive $100 million opening of the original Wonder Woman film in 2017, the numbers for the sequel may seem small, but it is still considered a success. Warner Bros. recently revealed that they are moving quickly to work on a third Wonder Woman movie, with Gal Gadot and director Patty Jenkins set to return for the project.
