If GOTG opens at $80 million domestically, is my prediction of over $500 million worldwide solid? I thought it would settle between $500-600 million. Let's see how it does. Over $400 million is a success, but anything above half a billion is a massive success as far as I see it.

Let's hope it settles between $500-600 million, because someone is going to lose their Samsung.

I would think 80 mill opening with good word of mouth would put it in the 200 mill domestic range. Since Avengers Marvel movies have done much bigger numbers internationally than before it and non star trek/wars SciFi also does better internationally

I think if word of mouth holds up it will blow past 600 mill

Including, or separate from, the 11 (almost 12) from Thursdays?
Click to expand...

Included as always. Thursday previews were 11.2M though. Not almost 12.

Minus previews, Guardians was less than $200k behind Cap 2's Friday (minus previews).

$90M seems like a sure bet unless it collapses today.

I'm sure Marvel are tracking the success of Lucy in perspective of a Black Widow solo film but I feel she was already a second main character in the Captain America TWS - I really can't see them making one but would not be surprised if they did.

I've been wanting a solo Black Widow movie since that scene where she throws people with her legs in Ironman 2.

Marvel could make two hours of her choke-holding people with her thighs as a movie, and I'd probably go watch it. More female kick-ass protagonists in movies, plz.


what's your reasoning behind that?

Well, for one: Do you hear people talking about it or the character in general? I can understand his reasoning, but if Guardians of the Galaxy is an indication, you can get "unknown" characters, put them in a strong movie and probably bank.

Deadline now saying Saturday is down only 15% and not their initial 20% drop for GotG. They are predicting $95-96m for the weekend. Crazy.

Unless the turtles explode(nope), this is officially the first summer without a movie that opens to 100M in 10 years.

Almost $100M for a movie based on an unknown property with no bankable stars. Wow Marvel has to be through the roof about this.

But to be realistic how many summers had this many $90M+ openings?

Well I wouldn't know, but I think in terms of total money grossed this year is trailing the previous one. Also not a single 300 million grosser either, since I don't know when.

Guardians of the Galaxy opens with as much as Cap and 10M more than Thor: The Dark World.

No one could have predicted that.


$160.4M global total.

“The Guardians of the Galaxy” touched down with a dazzling $94 million this weekend, proving that Marvel is the new gold standard for movie brands.

That set a new record for an August domestic debut, easily trumping the $69.3 million bow of 2007’s “The Bourne Ultimatum,” and scoring the third biggest stateside opening of the year. Overseas, the film netted an impressive $66.4 million in 42 territories, including Russia, Brazil, Mexico and the United Kingdom. It has brought in $160.4 million worldwide and still has many major markets left to open such as China, Australia, France and Spain.

Studio box office estimates come out early Sunday and they usually are never far off from the actuals. Crazy that Apes and now Guardians of the Galaxy have a chance at beating Amazing Spider-Man 2 domestically.

First summer without any $300 million+ films since 2001. GotG can't lift the slump on its own, either.

Ok didn't think it was that rough. Yeah the breakout hits this summer were generally new or young properties and the standards that previously did $300M+ all slunk. Profit-wise there's probably quite a bit of celebrating but revenue-wise yeah I think it's off like 20%. All of the success came from cheap(er) pics doing bigger than expected biz.

I was doing some boxofficemojo surfing and had no idea Beverly Hills Cop was such a phenomenal hit for it's time. It made $230 million in 1984 money on a $16 million opening weekend. And that was for an R rated comedy.
