This really isn't true. In fact, most of them have done quite a bit better. Of the successful super-hero comic book adaptions of since 2000 (so, excluding the non-super hero adaptations like MiB (MiB came out *17* years ago? I suddenly feel old) and 300, the Green Lantern-like flops (I set the floor at $150M DOM), and the older stuff that operated in a different environment), their multiples have gone:
SM2 4.25
ASM 4.22
SM 3.51
DK 3.39
IM 3.21
TA 3.01
DKR 2.78
FF 2.77
Thor 2.74
CATWS 2.73
CATFA 2.72
DoFP 2.55
MoS 2.51
X-United 2.5
IM2 2.44
TDW 2.40
IM3 2.35
X-LS 2.27
SM3 2.22
The Wolverine 2.12
Averaging out at 2.83, with a median of 2.72.
Obviously there are some some movies in there that are better or worse as comps for various reasons, but even if you simply don't count ASM and SM2, it only bumps the average mult down to 2.68 with a median of 2.64 (halfway between CATFA and DoFP).
Also, its pretty easy to notice the dual trends of the ones at the bottom being (generally speaking) relatively poorly reviewed sequels and the ones at the top being... lets go with "non-sequels" that received more positive reviews. Neither of those trends hold up 100%, but they're clear enough that its hard to overlook them.
So, its certainly possible GotG ends up with a multiple of 2.4 for whatever reason, but as a very strongly reviewed non-sequel, a 2.8 (or higher) multiple seems a lot more likely.
