【Jessica Drake in Scandalous Sex (2004) full movie】

In a matter of weeks we'll know exactly where Wonder Womanstands among all superhero movies at the domestic box office,Jessica Drake in Scandalous Sex (2004) full movie all-time.

How does Top 5 sound?

While cracking the top 4 is too tall an order, Wonder Woman-- currently at No. 8 -- has a shot at that No. 5 spot, overtaking Iron Man 3and settling in behind The Dark Knight Rises.

But Diana is going to have to sustain the fight, and will need one more rally to win it.

Here's where things currently stand, per our friends at comScore:

1. Marvel's The Avengers: $623.4 million

2. The Dark Knight: $544.3 million

3. Avengers: Age of Ultron: $459 million

4. The Dark Knight Rises: $448 million

5. Iron Man 3: $409 million

6. Captain America: Civil War: $408 million

7. Spider-Man(2002): $403.7 million

8. Wonder Woman: $399.5 million

Wonder Woman has now played in North American theaters for nine full weeks (plus this weekend), making $7.5 million in its eighth week and another $5.5 million in Week 9. To put that in perspective, only oneother superhero film -- indisputable superhero box office champ Marvel's The Avengers-- had better weeks 8-9, with $10.8 million and $6.9 million.

Most other cape-and-cowl capers lost all their powers that late into their runs, and were soon out of theaters. DCEU counterparts Batman v Supermanmade $737,776 in weeks 8 and 9, while Man of Steelmade $716,840. Just a few weeks later, they were gone.

It's going to be close, and it's going to take a rally

The numbers Wonder Womanis generating at this stage are a monument to its quality, staying power, and the absolute cultural necessity of female superheroes. Wonder Woman opened to $103 million on May 2 -- solid, though considerably less than any of the films that now stand in front of it -- but has since burned far hotter and longer than all but Avengers. Not even The Dark Knight,which played for a staggering 33 weeks in theaters, had better 8 and 9 frames ($7.18 million and $5.3 million).

But back to our question: Will that long-term and repeat business be enough to catapult Wonder Womaninto the Top 5?

As long as Warner Bros. keeps Wonder Womanin theaters for as long as similarly strong-performing DC films like The Dark Knight Rises(21 weeks), maybe. It's going to be close.

The average week-over-week drop for Wonder Womanhas been almost exactly 33% -- this past week only 30% -- and shows no signs of slowing from that pace. I predict it will play that way for 12 more weeks -- giving it 21 total, exactly as many as The Dark Knight Rises, one less thanThe Avengers-- and closing down for good just before Thanksgiving holiday titles hit.

Assuming a 1/3 drop for each week until then, here's how that plays out, starting with the estimated $5,242,373 from Week 9:

• Week 10: $3,494,915

• Week 11: $2,329,943

• Week 12: $1,553,295

• Week 13: $1,035,530

• Week 14: $690,353

• Week 15: $460,235

• Week 16: $306,823

• Week 17: $204,549

• Week 18: $136,366

• Week 19: $90,910

• Week 20: $60,607

• Week 21: $40,404

• Total: $10,403,930

Add that to Wonder Woman's $397,146,079 gross (before this weekend's estimated $2.3 million, which will be included in the Week 10 total), and you've got ...

[Drumroll]

... $407.5 million.

Good enough for No. 7, just behind Captain America: Civil War.

[Needle scratch]

Wait, didn't you say it could crack the Top 5?

I did, and that means somewhere down the line, Wonder Womanwill need a little help to take out Iron Man 3and Captain America: Civil War(which sits at $408 million).

Never fear -- these superhero studios always stage one last big theater bump-up at the end of long-running hits, which The Dark Knight did in weeks 18 and 28 (for an extra $1.56 million) and The Avengersdid too, going large in its 18th week (a $2.7 million bonus).

Wonder Woman is a phenomenon that could benefit from a lack of massive August competition

No doubt Warner Bros. will boost up a similar last-chance-to-see-it effort in the coming weeks, especially with Justice Leagueright on Wonder Woman's heels on Nov. 17. And the response should be juuuuuust enough -- let's say $1.6 million, for $409.1 million domestic ultimate -- to get Wonder Womanacross enemy lines and into that hallowed Top 5.

ComScore box-office whisperer Paul Dergarabedian is more bullish than I am; he's thinking Wonder Womancan clean up in the late-summer movie wasteland.

"Now Wonder Womanis a phenomenon that could benefit from a lack of massive August competition and who knows, maybe she could rustle up another $15 million, putting her at $411 million-plus," he told me. "But anything could happen!"

That's true. Anything could happen. Like, someone could start a #Top5forWonderWoman campaign to get people out to support it one more time.

Because Top 5 superhero movie of all time has a nice ring to it, right?
