    Guardians of the Galaxy OS Thread（$768M WW Total ）

    in International Box Office

    Posted · Edited by Ent

    I believe that it will make $543 million worldwide!

    How ?

     

    It is outpacing CATWS in the foreign front taken as a whole for the same markets, at the same point.  

     

    It means that so far it is on par to reach at least $450M foreign (of CATWS) if the tendency confirms itself during the next weeks which i think it will because of the  movie being more family oriented and less violent than CATWS.  

     

    It will drive adults but also, a lot of families with small kids of both genders.

     

    Domestically, it is opening around CATWS in a month where dailies are higher.  So it could pull off $250M domestic.

     

    This movie is shaping like a $700+M ww baby.  At least those are the early tendencies.

    For now many people think it's better than Cap2.Given I loved Cap2 I can't wait to see this :D

    Cap 2 is more geared to an adult audience only and could even be too violent for young kids.  I love it a lot but i wouldn't have watched it with a young kid as i am sure many of them, especially little girls could have been turned off by the violence.  

     

    I haven't seen GOTG yet as it opens on August the 13th in Belgium, but it looks, sounds like the perfect summer movie.

     

    A quirky colorfull space opera with weird creatures, full of escapism, heart, humour and lighthearted.  

     

    That's the perfect family movie during the summer vacay.  It has all the ingredients to break out in Europe during that period of the year where everyone is relaxed, people are hollidaying with kids and just want to chill and have a great time with the entire family at the theaters

    None of this makes sense. Tracking was way off.How this will beat all Marvel individual hero movies(besides IM2-3) is kinda ridiculous.

    Maybe Guardians was a concept that was always meant to open bigger than the Thor and CA concept one.

     

    Its uniqueness opens a bigger aspect of the MCU with its cosmic part and that is also of a greater appeal...

    Not to mention its director passion was very contagious and played a large part into promoting that movie.

    I still have zero clue as to why Maleficent is holding so well. The WOM is nothing special, and the reviews are VERY mixed. To me, it was a good/decent movie. The end.It's not even the only "family film" out there. How to Train Your Dragon 2 is getting significantly better reception, yet here's Maleficent doing significantly better at the box office. This summer had no rules.With that said, good numbers for both Purge and Apes. Apes should still win the weekend though, which makes me happy.

     

    How do you know its WOM is nothing special ?

     

    - If the drops have been consistently soft despite competition all round (female geered and children greered movies have been released since then with no noticeable negative effects on it so far);

     

    - If for 8 weeks in a row it has been able to close in the gap it had between Oz and itself on its opening weekend.

     

    THEN, It only means for one, that the size of its target audience is bigger than a lot in here want to acknowledge and that this target loved it to the point of giving it a great wom sustained by a high level of repeating viewings.

     

    That's the only explanation wether some like the movie or not.  There is just a big size of the audience (doesn't matter their profile, they are as worthy consumers as any other) that loved it and keep on coming  back to watch it.
