LOS ANGELES, CA — "Wonder Woman" made some Hollywood history over the weekend, debuting in first place with $103.3 million, according to final figures released Monday.

The bawdy comedy "Baywatch" earned $8.7 million to take fifth place.

Rounding out the top 10 films of the weekend were "Alien: Covenant" ($4.1 million); "Everything, Everything" ($3.3 million); "Snatched" ($1.3 million); "Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul" ($1.3 million); and "King Arthur: Legend of the Sword" ($1.2 million).
