Top Movies Of The Weekend

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 topped the box office during its opening weekend with $145 million. The James Gunn-helmed Disney/Marvel vehicle was budgeted at about $200 million and worldwide raked in about $427.6 million, an excellent showing.

Dave Hollis, Disney's distribution chief, tells Deadline that the success shows that Marvel “can take characters who many were unacquainted with before the first film, and in the course of the next film, deliver an opening that’s on par with some of the biggest openings in the movie business. It’s a reflection of how consistent Marvel has been –their $11 billion worth of success– and how they can take chances like this. It’s not a franchise that is quote unquote safe or normal as other movie franchises. The challenge here was taking things that moviegoers loved from the first and making it bigger. This is the 17th biggest domestic opening of all-time, and any time a movie can rank in the top 20, you sit back and say ‘Wow.’”

If GOTG2 gets to $1 billion worldwide as expected, it will be the fifth Marvel film to do so, following Avengers ($1.5B), Avengers: Age of Ultron($1.4B), Iron Man 3 ($1.2B), Captain America: Civil War ($1.15B).
