Wonder Woman officially debuts in theaters this weekend. And its safe to say that the film's accomplishments - and its significance on the industry - are already being celebrated by many. This includes, as it turns out, the movie review aggregating site Rotten Tomatoes.
The review site collects the reviews from critics around the world, and gives each film a rating based on those reviews. A good review gets a fresh rating, a poor review gives you a rotten rating. The overall Rotten Tomatoes score is the percentage of positive vs negative reviews.
Wonder Woman has since been Certified Fresh, which is the highest accolade the website can award to a film. In order for a film of Wonder Woman's scale to recieve that honor, the Rotten Tomatoes score has to be higher than 75% after being reviewed by at least 80 critics. At the time of this writing, Wonder Woman holds a 92% rating on the site.
And as it turns out, this comes with quite a few perks - including a pretty awesome trophy.
Rotten Tomatoes' official Twitter posted a photo of the trophies they will be awarding to Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins, as well as the film's stars, Gal Gadot and Chris Pine. You can check out the photo below.
