Guardians of the Galaxy Box Office

[Iceman]

OS actuals for the weekend came in a bit higher at $92.5 million. That’s about 9 million ahead of MOM and 24 million ahead of WF (L&T numbers too embarrassing to quote). Bumps WW to 531 after Sunday. Some people starting to talk about 900+.

Wow, didn’t expect it to be faring so well overseas compared to some of those names!

Yeah, it’s really done well. Fast X will probably hit it pretty hard this weekend though, it’s still a strong OS franchise.

Fast seems to be still crazy strong overseas but now useless domestically. Maybe Guardians can outlast it domestically with the way it’s holding and with the predicted open for Fast.

Monday actual 5.18. Very good.

Should have $300m on the horizon soon after the remaining weekdays and hopefully another good weekend hold.

Yah it should top 300 Memorial Day weekend.

Yah it should top 300 Memorial Day weekend.

Oh yes great, just realised it's Memorial Day coming up. I get a day off too lol.

 

[SomeOldGuy]

Box office pro goes with 29-35 for weekend #3. Hopefully it’s toward the higher end of that range.

Weekend Box Office Forecast: FAST X Eyes $58M+ Domestic Debut; Will GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 3 Remain a Formidable Foe? - Boxoffice

 

[TheVileOne]

Fast X is basically going to need overseas grosses to save it.

I mean props to everyone for rebuilding the franchise after Tokyo Drift, but it's run its course.

 

[SomeOldGuy]

4.5 Wednesday. Another good number.

 

[SomeOldGuy]

3.7 Thursday. BOT expecting something in the mid-30s, so another sub 50% drop despite FX opening.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Loving the WOM that's going for this, the movie deserves it.

 

[Boom]

Gets better with each viewing. Very affecting movie.

Real quick, does Rocket call him "Quill" or "Pete" when he wakes up? Can't recall.

Disney/Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 at 4,450 theaters is looking at an estimated $8.2m Friday for a third weekend of $32.7M, -46% for a running total of $267.2M. That’s a really good hold considering Universal took all the pic’s PLF and Imax screens. That third weekend amount is not that far from GOTG2‘s $34.6M (-47%), and 30% ahead of the third session of GOTG‘s $25.1M (-40%).

‘Fast X’ Box Office: Revving To $65 Million Opening Weekend After $7.5M Thursday – Deadline

Deadline likes to lowball so hopefully that goes up a bit, but still looking like a very good third weekend hold.

ETA: looks like it bumped up to 8.37 for Friday.

Looks like just a hair under 32 for the weekend, so -48%. Good job.

Now at 266.5 domestic / 392.6 OS / 659.1 WW. Will cross 700 WW next weekend.

Serious competition and loss of premium screens and still a great hold! People are loving this!

 

[SomeOldGuy]

Actual came in a bit higher, 32.4. On to Memorial Day weekend!

 

[SomeOldGuy]

3.5 more Monday, off just 32% versus the prior Monday. Great start to the week. Should cross 300 domestic over the holiday weekend.

 

[Iceman]

Nice extra for the weekend and a decent Monday too.

 

[SomeOldGuy]

Another 3.5 Tuesday. Not much of a bump over Monday but Canada did have a Monday holiday. Global total now at 666.6 so crank the Ozzy tonight!

 

[Batgirl0202]

Two thirds of the way to a billion!

 

[Iceman]

So hopefully a nice holiday-boosted weekend coming up. Any forecasts yet?
