Guardians deserves every penny it gets.

 

Avengers didn't.

 

[Ent]

Has it opened everywhere overseas? That total is pretty low.

 

 

Nope,

 

Still has Italy, Germany, Japan, China and a few other little markets

Has it opened everywhere overseas? That total is pretty low.

It's still got Germany, Italy, Japan and China to come. It'll blow past $650 million imo. If you consider there's another $50 million domestic to add to that $489 then that puts it at $540. $700 million plus isn't out of the question, depending on how big it is in China.

Those markets should easily put Guardians at least at 650 million but I have a feeling it will be huge in China.

Still has China, Japan, Germany, Italy and slew of other markets as well. 650M WW should happen, 700M+ will depend on breakout in China. 

[Clef Ment]

They should release a Sin Cty 3 in 2023 so that it can open to 2M.

[Heat Vision]

GOTG will get 200 million in China.

$700m + would put a stamp on it.

 

The staggered OS release dates are throwing me off.

[ecstasy]

With this kind of momentum GOTG should have no problem crossing $300m. Wow.

Sarcasm?

They need to open it against The Avengers 3, I'm telling you.

[ecstasy]

Sin City was a huge flop. Geez. I know one guy at work that was really excited to see it. This makes Expendables 3 floppage look not so bad.

According to the China specialists at the international area here in the forum, it got a very bad release date => they think $50m till $70m.

 

They have also a restriction in China about how long a foreign movie is even allowed there. In this week they hindered certain movies also via screen numbers.

China isn't happy about to have to give away foreign exchange, so if something like Transformers happens... not good for the next foreign movies (including delaying the censorship time to get worse release dates and more)

[James]

Nope.

But from what I hear it's release date is not that good. Any in hell would it be bigger than TF/IM?

I'm outta likes, but yeah, I agree with everything you said.

Those are typical for not established block-buster franchises. Sometimes a movie gets 2 years later a release time than in the US (and the US users here love to complain about the few times 'we' get a movie a couple of weeks early )

Sucks. Still think it will do a little better than 70 million.
