The more I think on this movie the more I love it. Its making me go re-watch Vol 1, Vol 2, the special, Infinity War and Endgame since they featured heavily in it. I really want one more.
Will have to go see this again in cinema, havent doubled on a film for 4-5 years.

Only a 17% drop on Sunday in Australia for GOTG3. Hopefully domestic follows similar drop!

When have reviews ever been important for Disney live-action remakes???
Since the extreme negative reaction to marketing probably has alot of fence sitters questioning this one. -
So about a 19% Saturday drop for GOTG3
Better than
Ant-Man 3 27%
Dr Strange 2 36%
Wakanda 33%
Thor 4 39%
Good early signs for legs.

The reviews are the only thing that can save the film from flopping. Apparently test screening reviews have been great and Melissa got raves at Cinemacon
Good first step for sure.

With the huge negativity surrounding its marketing/casting this film really NEEDS to have some glowing reactions, especially to Halle Bailey's performance.

Hoping for 50m. Deserves so much more than mid 40.

You guys can't spin this is out of a major disappointment. Fact. Period. No arguments here. Only hope is that legs won't be as bad as recent MCU trash.
How could 110m be considered a success when it is opening way below THOR: LOVE AND THUNDER, which ( apart from me and a few folks ) people thought was disappointing. Everyone claimed that GOTG 3 will sail past that film easily. Fast forward nearly a year and a few trash MCU films later, the golden franchise fails to deliver as well.
When you are having a sizebale decrease from a second film with worse reviews, that's not a good sign. MCU is finished, only SPIDEY stands tall. And hopefully DEADPOOL.

it does make sense. The point was that expectations have been lowered so much that a film dropping $25M from its predecessor’s opening weekend despite ticket inflation is now seen as “decent.”
This forum would have called $120M an outright poor number until tracking made it look like it could be even worse.
The sports analogies being used are to illustrate that just because you’re way below expectations, climbing back up to merely below expectations is still a disappointment.
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.

What a great ending to a trilogy. I was absolutely satisfied with this being a concluding point for the OG characters.
Was surprised that none died but am happy about it. Sad to say goodbye to this group.
Easily marvels best franchise.

Wow that was so good. Easily one of their best. Raw character driven film that has you connecting and caring with the characters better than any previous MCU film.

Reception indicators across the board are extremely high. Definitely could have a WOM monster here. See how it goes once it reaches domestic market. But looking good early.
I see it tonight. Pretty excited as the first Guardians is still my favorite MCU. Been ages since I saw a film opening night.

Going big with 92% on RT prediction. Reactions seem stronger than VOL 2 and matching VOL 1.

So nerds seem to enjoy it.
Let’s see if the audience will care as well.
Anything below $700M would be disappointing, if not a disaster.
Anything above 500m would be a success given some recent superhero numbers. The only way I see 700m is if Guardians and Spiderverse are both great to boost genre.

This movie feels like the definition of knowing your target audience. Is it a great movie for all movie goers, absolutely not as shown by critic ratings. But the people going that go see the movie it just plays well too.

Both Marvel and DC will be hoping this movie is great and well received by audiences/critics. Run of bad SH movies is clearly having effecting the entire genre at this point.
-
Yeah regardless of box office most likely will be a good movie. Guardians my favourite sub-franchise and Gunn yet to do a bad superhero project.

It's crazy to think but it's very likely that had Mario opened with a typical domestic release (Friday OD), it would be in the list above.
It is deflated by fact it opened on Wednesday, at the same time its boosted by a holiday. So maybe, maybe not (?)
-
Very much doubt Nintendo would allow a live action Zelda or Metroid. They are extremely family friendly image protective and will likely keep future movies to animation.
-
Hope this means we get a few more video game adaptions of beloved franchises. Would love to Zelda, just not by illumination lol. Bioshock could play quite well.

If Mario does open $200M+ TGM and Avatar might be going down
It has strong enough WOM for 3.5x Multi and no genre competition until June
3.5 multi coming off a 5-day with no summer weekdays or christmas holidays would be insane. So perhaps chill just a little.

Monster hold for Guardians. Maybe the best Sunday hold ever for MCU with normal workday tomorrow.
