## Plot

[edit]

August "Auggie" Pullman is a 10-year-old boy living in Brooklyn with his parents, Isabel and Nate, older sister Olivia "Via", and their dog, Daisy. Auggie was born with a rare medical facial deformity, mandibulofacial dysostosis. He has undergone 27 surgeries to help him function, and wears an astronaut helmet when out in public. Auggie has been homeschooled by Isabel due to his appearance (since they know that Auggie will be treated differently, outcasted and be bullied because of his face) and surgeries, but as he approaches the fifth grade, his parents decide to enroll him at Beecher Prep, a private middle school. When the school year begins, Auggie is ostracized and is constantly bullied by Julian Albans, the class bully, and Julian's friends Amos Conti, Miles Noury, and Henry Joplin, but he soon forms a close friendship with his classmate, Jack Will, whom he met during a tour of the school while everyone else outcasts him.

For Halloween, Auggie dresses as Ghostface from the previous year when Daisy ruins his planned Boba Fett costume. While entering his homeroom, Auggie overhears Jack, who does not recognize him, joining Julian and Julian's friends, Amos Conti, Miles Noury, and Henry Joplin, in teasing of Auggie behind his back. Auggie also overhears Jack saying that he was forced to being friends with Auggie and would kill himself if he looked like Auggie, which hurts him a lot and feels betrayed by the only supposed friend he had. An upset Auggie feigns illness, forcing his mother to abandon her mother-daughter day with Via to pick him up. Auggie comes home and isolates himself from his family and cries alone in his room from the hurt of the betrayal. Though she is also hurt that her day was gone with her mother, Via talks with Auggie and tells her about what Jack Will said and Via convinces Auggie to go trick-or-treating with her, as she has been rejected by her own best friend, Miranda Navas.

When Auggie returns to school, Auggie begins avoiding Jack and starts to be alone again until he forms a new friendship with another classmate, Summer Dawson, confiding in her about his split with Jack. When Jack eventually asks Summer why Auggie is avoiding him, she says "Ghostface". Jack realizes his mistake and resolves to make it up to Auggie by being his partner for the science fair instead of partnering with Julian and Amos since he genuinely wants to be Auggie's friend and not out of obligation or pity. When Julian confronts Jack about it and calls Auggie a freak, they get into a fight. Outraged, Julian ends his friendship with Jack. Jack is suspended for two days, and the principal, Mr. Lawrence Tushman, reads Jack's letter about defending Auggie. Jack then apologizes to Auggie via Minecraft, and they reconcile.

Meanwhile, Via has been feeling left out; ever since Auggie was born, her parents have spent considerably more time looking after him than paying attention to her. Via signs up for the drama club after meeting theater nerd Justin Hollander, with whom she begins a romantic relationship. Via is selected as Miranda's understudy for the lead role in the school's production of Our Town, but on opening night, Miranda feigns illness to let Via take her place after learning that Via's family is in attendance while her own is not. Via gives a moving performance, earning a standing ovation, and reconciles with Miranda.

Auggie's popularity and circle of friends grow after he and Jack win first prize at the science fair, but Julian and his friends continue to bully Auggie. Eventually, Mr. Tushman confronts Julian and his parents with evidence, including hate notes and a class picture with Auggie photoshopped out and a caption that reads: "No freaks allowed" and at the back of the class picture, Julian wrote "Do everyone a favor and die". Mrs. Albans admits she deleted Auggie from the picture, defends Julian's actions, and insists that students should not be exposed to Auggie. Despite the Albans' threats to pull funding, Julian is suspended for two days, forcing him to miss an upcoming nature retreat. As they leave, Mrs. Albans declares that Julian will not be back in the fall. However, Julian apologizes to Mr. Tushman for his actions towards Auggie, and Mr.Tushman forgives him.

At the nature retreat, Auggie and Jack are threatened by a trio of seventh graders from another school, but Amos, Miles, and Henry defend them. Auggie becomes emotional during the nature retreat since he finally became accepted by everyone and even those who bullied him at the start of the year. Just before Auggie’s graduation, Nate reveals to him that he put his astronaut helmet in his office because Auggie always used to wear it and Nate missed seeing Auggie's face, and asks Auggie if he needs it back, but he happily dismisses this. At the graduation ceremony, Auggie thanks Isabel for enrolling him in school and admits that he was really mad at her sometimes for sending him to school but he is happy that he went, and Isabel tells Auggie that he is a “wonder”. Auggie is given the Henry Ward Beecher Medal for his strength and courage throughout the school year and he earns a standing ovation from everyone.

## Production

[edit]

### Development

[edit]

On November 27, 2012, it was announced that Lionsgate was developing a feature film adaptation of R. J. Palacio's debut novel Wonder, and were in talks with John August to write the screenplay.[4] Mandeville Films' David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman produced the film.[4]

On August 9, 2010, Jack Thorne was hired to adapt the novel after August had departed from the project.[5] In October 2014, John Krokidas was reported to be directing the film,[6] though in April 2015, Paul King was hired to direct instead. Steven Conrad was writing the script at that time.[7]

### Casting

[edit]

On April 14, 2016, Jacob Tremblay was cast to play the lead role, Auggie Pullman, while Julia Roberts was in talks to play Auggie's mother.[8] Three weeks later, Roberts' casting was confirmed, and Stephen Chbosky was set as the film's director.[9]

On June 27, 2016, Owen Wilson joined to play Auggie's father.[10] Two weeks later, newcomer Noah Jupe joined the cast as Auggie's best friend at school,[11] and on July 15, Daveed Diggs was cast as Mr. Browne, an English teacher at the school.[12]

On August 19, 2016, Sônia Braga joined the cast, portraying the role of Roberts' character's mother.[13]

### Special effects

[edit]

Tremblay's prosthetic makeup, designed and created by Arjen Tuiten, took an hour and a half to apply. It consisted of a skull cap with prosthetic ears attached, a facial prosthetic that covered Tremblay's face, and a wig to tie it all together.[14]

### Filming

[edit]

Filming took place in several locations in British Columbia, Canada, and Coney Island, New York, from October 18 to December 13, 2016.

### Music

[edit]

Marcelo Zarvos composed the film's score.[15] Bea Miller composed a song for the film, "Brand New Eyes". It was released on August 3, 2017. Wonder author R. J. Palacio has often credited Natalie Merchant's song "Wonder", from her 1995 album Tigerlily, as the inspiration for her best-selling book. At Merchant's invitation, the song was featured on the soundtrack. The song is also played during the film's end credits.[16]

## Release

[edit]

Lionsgate had initially scheduled Wonder to be released in the United States on April 7, 2017.[17][18] On February 13, 2017, it was announced that the release date had been pushed back to November 17, 2017.[19] Wonder had its world premiere at the Regency Village Theater in Los Angeles on November 14, 2017.[20]

## Reception

[edit]

### Box office

[edit]

Wonder grossed $132 million in the United States and Canada, and $182 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $315 million, against a production budget of $20 million.[3] Deadline Hollywood calculated the film made a net profit of $55.3 million, when factoring together all expenses and revenues.[21]

In the United States and Canada, Wonder opened alongside Justice League, The Star, and Roman J. Israel, Esq. and was initially projected to gross around $9 million from 3,096 theaters in its first weekend.[22] However, after grossing $740,000 from Thursday night previews and receiving a large number of group ticket sales, weekend projections were upped to $15 million.[23] Weekend projections were again increased, this time to $28 million, after the film made $9.4 million on its first day. The film went on to debut to $27.5 million,[24] finishing second at the box office, behind Justice League.[25] In its second weekend, the film dropped just 17.7%, grossing $22.7 million and finishing third at the box office.[26]

### Critical response

[edit]

On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 86% based on 189 reviews, and an average rating of 7.1/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "Wonder doesn't shy away from its bestselling source material's sentiment, but this well-acted and overall winsome drama earns its tugs at the heartstrings."[27] On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 66 out of 100, based on 33 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[28] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "A+" on an A+ to F scale, one of approximately 100 films in the history of the service to receive the grade.[25]

Some reviewers criticized the decision to cast an actor without the same condition as Auggie as undermining the film's message.[29][30] In August 2021, during Edinburgh TV Festival's MacTaggart Lecture, co-writer Jack Thorne, while not specifically citing Wonder, acknowledged that he had failed to stand up for disabled talent on projects involving the subject, and sought to rectify this through pushing for new disability initiatives like 'Underlying Health Condition', which launched in December 2021.[31]

Palacio's graphic novel of the same name, starring Gillian Anderson and Helen Mirren, with Bryce Gheisar reprising his role as Julian Albans, began production in February 2021 in the Czech Republic.[47] Described as a "companion piece" to the original film,[48] the film follows Julian as his Parisian grandmother tells him stories of her childhood as a young Jewish girl living in Nazi-occupied France during World War II, when she was hidden from the Nazis by a classmate and his family. Initially scheduled to be released on September 16, 2022,[49] the film's release date was ultimately delayed to October 14, 2022[50] before the film was removed from the release schedule in September,[51] envisaging an August 2023 release.[52] However Lionsgate pushed the release to an unspecified date, in July 2023, as a result of the SAG-AFTRA strike, in the fourth quarter of 2023.[53] In December 2023, Lionsgate scheduled the film for release on October 4, 2024.[54]

### Musical adaptation

On April 9, 2019, it was announced that a musical adaptation of the film was in the works for Broadway, with Jill Furman (Hamilton) producing and R. J. Palacio adapting the novel for the stage production.[55]
