 I forgot how huge Twilight and Potter movies were midnight wise. And with a true midnight opening, not 7:00 previews.

[Mango]

Let the Chris Pratt revolution begin.

 

[Captain Craig]

Does this mean August is the new May? 

August is the new April. Months studios didn't flock to due to perceived lack of earnings potential. 

[4815162342]

With this kind of reception:

 

 

Could GOTG be this summer's only 300m grossing film?

 

Someone should ask Devin if Pacific Rim is still this generation's Star Wars

Guardians winning the summer wouldn't be the biggest upset surely. I'll be quite relieved if it takes the crown from TF4.

Hopefully not.

 

Dex, your club is completely dead and buried so why not join the fun?     

[Ezen Baklattan]

My face is still numb from all of that grinning last night.

[sdeezy]

I want to see other movies beside marvel movies. Would not be great if boyhood could break. I want to live in original movie universe.

 

So watch other movies. Marvel releases 2 films a year, and as far as blockbusters are concerned..they do a pretty good job  overall with the quality. This idea that big franchises are stepping on the throat of 'original' films is ludicrous.

[Kvikk Lunsj]

Welp, guess I'll just serve myself.

I think indeed three servings of crow. My club is dead . I hope my new club wins.

[ecstasy]

11m?Asdfjklbacasdx!!

[Impact]

Rocket needs a theme song!

[James]

Guardians winning the summer wouldn't be the biggest upset surely. I'll be quiet relieved if it takes the crown from TF4.

But TF4 won't even beat LEGO, let alone CAP. Or you mean WW? Because the chances of that happening are sub zero. 

Edit: Summer release. Sorry. My bad.

Let the Chris Pratt revolution begin.

 

 

My first memories of Chris Pratt

Summer crown I meant.

[druv10]

11m?Asdfjklbacasdx!!

 

So it doubled your 5-6M number.     

[rockNrollaDIM]

Now I'm extra mad fucking Disney didn't pair Maleficent with GOTG at the drive-ins. Does Cap really need more money?

[miketheavenger]

Didn't Tele say earlier he expects 8-9m? He knew this movie was going to be something special.

[Mango]

I'm predicting a delightful weekend thread with 70's/80's pop references and a lot of Chris Pratt.

 

[DeeCee]

I have to see it again.

[CJohn]

It is not gonna do 100M OW, but at this point it will have an OW over Thor 2 and TASM2 and it will surely end above TASM2 DOM (even if the OW ends a bit lower since that may happen). So right now, these bunch of space assholes are more popular than Spider-Man DOM...
