Outside of No Way Home and Doctor Strange 2 all CBM boxoffice for the past 3 years have been underperforming. Box office is still down 30% domestically from 2019 levels. Even worse at the global front with China shunning hollywood and Russian market gone. So gone are the days where a good CBM can get a sure 300m domestic/700m+ worldwide. This is not soley a Guardians thing.
