This list only makes you realise how huge TF movies are. Hell, it made way more OS than any of the other movies WW.

Last year's 10th film (Thor 2) earned $645M. I believe an indicator for a successful film is whether it top the previous year's 10th film. Big Hero 6 and Interstellar should reach that figure to be deemed a success. The expectations for Mockingjay - Part 1 and Hobbit 3 are obviously higher.

Guardians Of The Galaxy has now been on release in China for 23 days and has lifted its cume there to$94.3M with an added $2.4M this frame.

Guardians will surpass Thor: The Dark World by next weekend. Never expected it to be the lowest-grossing Phase 2 film overseas.

"US entertainment giant Walt Disney's fourth quarter revenue beat market expectations thanks to its recent blockbuster movies.

The company reported a 7% increase in quarterly revenue to $12.39bn (£7.8bn), above expectations of $12.36bn.

Hit films Guardians of the Galaxy released in July and Maleficent starring Angelina Jolie drove its studio unit growth by almost 18%"

Actually Ant-Man is still phase two, so TDW will be second lowest

You never know.... all said that about GOTG...

You never know.... all said that about GOTG...

Indeed. Never underestimate Marvel...

 

What I find some strange is that Ant-man belongs to phase 2 instead of the third, being released after TA2. Any explanation for this to someone who is an absolute ignorant about Marvel universe?

Phase 3 seems very much about Civil War / Thanos and Ant-Man doesn't seem to fit in any of those to. I believe the main reason it's Phase 2 is that it will be related to Age of Ultron. There are theories that Wright left because Marvel wanted connections to their Universe. Wright mentioned that he wanted to make a stand alone film and Ultron was not in his script. In the AoU synopsis it refers to a "dormant peacekeeping program" so it is theorised that Pym is the creator of it, which Tony will use to create Ultron. Also having the fallout of AoU in Ant-Man could lay seeds for Civil War kicking off Phase 3.

GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY: $438M Overseas Total / $768M Global Total #GuardiansOfTheGalaxy

Guardians Of The Galaxy stands at $440.1m

Guardians will probably decrease dramatically this weekend in China so my final prediction for its WW total is $770M ($330M + $440M). It will end at 51st all-time worldwide, just short of Star Wars (ironically another non-sequel sci-fi adventure film).

The NA and OS predictions will both be slightly underestimated, as it turns out. It still won't surpass Star Wars though.
