What’s big? No need to “Wonder”

It could be a “Wonder-ful” weekend for Warner Bros. stockholders and fans of Amazon mythology. The big movie opening Friday also represents a potential breakthrough, as it’s the first superhero film starring a woman.

Here’s a look at what’s entertaining this weekend in the Garden Grove-Huntington Beach-Westminster area.
