Weekend Numbers: GOTG - 94M (PG 180) [25.5M Sunday (Spatula) Cancel the Godzilla legs!]

[Orestes]

remember though, I believe this is the first Marvel movie to open when everyone is off school so Saturday business won't be as big. But at the same time 

 

 

not to mention that it might not reach Fatal Attraction's adjusted number to be Glenn Close's most attended movie so this is actually a disappointment,

Guys stop making such truthful and funny posts. Ive reached the quota somehow. This is stupid.

Marvel has NO excuse to not do a Black Panther Film. If they are worried give it like a 100 million budget. 

They really have no excuse to not do a Black Widow movie, or any number of supposed "esoteric" projects. They virtually shit box office gold.

Drax has many lines in the movie? He looks so erased by trailers...

Drax was shocking ... I didn't think Big Dave had that in him.

[Cochofles]

And Marvel you've proven you can open GOTG, now it's time to get Black Panther on screen

...and Ms. Marvel. Come on, Marvel.

What about the inevitable team up between Guardians & Avengers ... maybe in an Avengers 3.  Mother of God.

The trailer is only 2 minutes long, the movie is 2 hours

Parks & Rec is ending right? All their stars are now a lot bigger than that show. It's weird it will launch more careers or enhance more than The Office & 30 Rock ever did. Obviously talking about Pratts confirmation as a film star here.

Zoe Saldana just seems to find the right sci fi projects

True, and the wrong everything else

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

Some thought it was a silly idea until the numbers came in today.and I would fully support a Squirrel Girl movie.

Yes. This upcoming season is its last.

It has one more season.

Marvel has created a new Chris.

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.

 

If anything Guardians as a concept was a tough sell from the beginning.  Most of the credit belongs to the marketing department for bringing a high-energy campaign that wasn't scared to shy away from some of the goofy tonal shifts that the film itself indulges in.
