SAN ANTONIO – With summer ticket sales continuing to lag behind expectations, movie studios and theaters are hoping that the latest big budget release "Wonder Woman" will change things.
Last week "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales" did debut in first place but the film didn't do as well as previous installments.
