GODZILLA: $307.3M Overseas Total / $507.4M Global Total #Godzilla

[BadAtGender]

Didn't someone have a question about tickets sold?

As for actual tix sold, #GuardiansOfTheGalaxy did just over 10M. About same as 1st #XMen's opening wknd from July 2000.

 

That's not a bad comparison. A lot of people questioned X-Men prior to release, and the size of its gross was really surprising.

On the looks side, oh yeah, I definitely agree. But Pratt has that smart ass humor that people also love about Tony Stark.

 

 hmmm  i'll have to get back to you on that when i see GoTG

50 Shades of Grey was originally supposed to open this weekend. I wonder if it would have hurt GOTG.

Nikki's quoting a line from it that addresses the Elevator incident with her sister and Jay-Z.
