Guardians Shatters August Box Office With $94 Million
Those who thought Marvel was crazy for putting together a movie based on C (or even D) list characters have 94 million reasons to apologize. Guardians of the Galaxy ended up taking in $94 million over the weekend according to BOM, wiping away the previous record held by The Bourne Ultimatium which bowed at $69.3 in 2007.
The movie came in just barely under the opening weekend for Captain America: The Winter Soldier ($95 million) and above Thor: The Dark World ($85.7 million) which is pretty remarkable since both of those were sequels and the Guardians was filled with unknown characters.
Add in the international markets and the movie brought in $160.4 million world wide. Not bad for a movie with a talking raccoon and tree.
