Your chart is not making any sense here. Spider-Man was not pulled they just do not have the info for those days. I think right now it is hard to say, but is going to be close fight against Spidey for the number 1 superhero debut of all time for unadjusted. To be honest that is all the average person cares about they don't care about adjusted prices.

I would put Wonder Woman around 404 to 405 million, but has the potential to do around 410 million especially if Warner does the major Oscar push for a short rerelease around December time frame. The closest film right now we can compare the film to as to what the film is pulling in daily is Beauty and the Beast. On a weekday daily basis WW is outperforming BB at this point, but a weekend basis BB is outperforming WW. Yet those numbers equal out for a weekly basis. BB did another 10 million before Disney withdrew the film at a 119 days. 

 

I was wondering how much more revenue Wonder Woman could still earn. (2nd try)

Here is one more column -  is this any better?  

(I added #9 so the list includes all films ending (U.S.) between $400M and $499M as listed on boxofficemojo)

  Total         Day 57     To-Go
$323M        $2,515    $77,591    26  Frozen
$388M        $1,060    $42,563    10  Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace*
$393M         $985           ?          27  Wonder Woman
$394M         $903      $10,059    23   Spider-Man
$420M         $839      $20,247    14   Shrek 2
$410M         $829      $13,389    17   Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest
$389M         $824      $18,556    22   The Hunger Games
$416M         $631       $9,037     16   The Hunger Games: Catching Fire
$399M         $618      $15,784    19   Toy Story 3
$439M         $609       $8,659     13   The Dark Knight Rises
$451M         $482       $7,738     12   Avengers: Age of Ultron
$404M         $416       $4,566     20   Iron Man 3
$382M         $413           ?         28   Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2  
$476M         $372     $10,510      9   Finding Dory*
$405M         $216       $3,220     21   Captain America: Civil War  
$397M         $178       $4,812     25   Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

(column 1 is total BO as of day 57)

(column 3 is total BO after day 57)

(columns 2 and 3 add 000's)

(* = #10 made $431M in its first run and #9 was rereleased (+1700 theaters) during its 1st run for labor day 2016)

(not included are #11, 15, 18, and 24 which all made under $360M on their 1st runs)

I think the interesting comparison is #22 Hunger Games which was also an unknown movie property.  That film ended at $408M and Wonder Woman is slightly ahead of that pace.

I was wondering how much more revenue Wonder Woman could still earn.  

I made a quick chart of most of the movies still ahead in 1st run revenue (as of Friday 7/28 - day 57) to see how much more those movies earned after that point.

After flipping the numbers around a few times, this chart seems to have the bigger earners at the top.

Day 57    To-Go
$2,515    $77,591   26  Frozen
$1,060    $42,563   10  Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace*
$985           ?           27  Wonder Woman
$903      $10,059    23   Spider-Man
$839      $20,247    14   Shrek 2
$829      $13,389    17   Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest
$824      $18,556    22   The Hunger Games
$631       $9,037     16   The Hunger Games: Catching Fire
$618      $15,784    19   Toy Story 3
$609       $8,659     13   The Dark Knight Rises
$482       $7,738     12   Avengers: Age of Ultron
$416       $4,566     20   Iron Man 3
$413           ?           28   Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2
$216       $3,220     21   Captain America: Civil War
$178       $4,812     25   Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

(I didn't look at movies ranked 1 - 9 in revenue and 4 movies only earned $400M by including rereleases*.)

The two movies that stand out to me are

1) Frozen because it was only at $323M by day 57 (no other film that made $400M was under $388M on day 57)

2) Spider-Man because it looks like they pulled it from theaters after it made its $400M (it dropped from 1502 theaters to 574 the weekend after it got to $400M)

From looking at its competitors Wonder Woman looks like it has a reasonable shot at $410 and a top 20 slot. (currently IM3 at $409)
(4 of the 6 comparisons that earned over $800,000 on day 57, earned over $18M after that day and $393M + 18M = $411M)

Just some thoughts.  

In the Richard Dix movie The Whistler, the character known as the 'deafmute' is always seen reading Superman #27 which was cover dated Mar/Apr 1944 and would have been the current issue of Superman during the filming of this movie which was released on March 30, 1944

In the Jane Russell, Frank Sinatra, and Groucho Marx movie Double Dynamite filmed in late 1948, there is a scene near the end of the movie when they are looking through a bank manger's desk and they find four different issues of the Dell Tracy series including #12 on the top.
