BOX OFFICE: GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY Passes $700 Million Worldwide
Thanks to a hugely successful first week in China, James Gunn's Guardians of the Galaxy has passed $700 million worldwide and is already closing in on this year's comic book movies featuring far more recognisable characters like Captain America and Spider-Man! Read on for details...
Guardians of the Galaxy has officially been a hit for a number of weeks (months?) now, but as expected, its Chinese opening has added even more to the movie's already impressive box office haul. With $326.7 million in North America and $387.4 million internationally, the James Gunn helmed release has a current worldwide total of $705.1 million. That puts it on track to top The Amazing Spider-Man 2's $707.9 million and it should also beat Captain America: The Winter Soldier's $713.9 million at this rate! It will likely just fall short of topped the $747.9 million brought in by X-Men: Days of Future Past, but Guardians of the Galaxy has by far outperformed initial expectations and it's not hard to see why Marvel gave a sequel the green light for 2017 before the first instalment even reached theaters. How many times did you guys watch the movie?
