[DAR]

Zoe Saldana just seems to find the right sci fi projects

[Jack Nevada]

Will OS be massive?

[The Futurist]

 

 

 I AM GROOT !

Marvel and Disney could seriosly get Squirrel Girl to $60M...Hey, hey, we all though Guardians was a silly idea back in 2012.

[Orestes]

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

 

Even that 80m outlier from tracking is gonna come up way short.

Maybe the RS/MTC rule works in reverse for marvel movies.

I don't understand how this could open higher than Cap

 

For one thing it's way more family friendly than Cap is.

I don't understand how this could open higher than Cap

 

It's puzzling but it's definitely happening.  It's been gaining on Cap 2 since noon and as of 7pm Eastern, Guardians officially pulled ahead and sits about 5% above Cap.  If the trend continues I'd say Rth is spot on.  

[Chewy]

Will OS be massive?

 

It's opening higher than Cap 2 in some territories. It doesn't open in China for a while now

[Ethan Hunt]

Holy crap, 39M-43m, if it's on the high end if that... Just wow, never saw this coming

[The Panda]

The general audience is hooked on a feeling, and high on believing that they're in love with Pratt.

[Klingo]

[CJohn]

Universal must be crazy happy that they got Pratt for Jurassic Park 4. 

[Heat Vision]

Holy shit! Is this real life?!

[filmlover]

Even just a few weeks ago I would've thought $60M would've been fantastic for this. But $90M+? Holy fucking shit.

[CJohn]

People liked the marketing. The movie looked colorful and fun and unique. Great reviews. Dead summer. etc

This. 

[Jack Nevada]

Holy shit! Is this real life?!

No.
