'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2' Explodes to $100 Million Plus International Box Office
This weekend Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 opened in 37 markets over the weekend, including much of Europe and the Antipodean nations. The overall haul was very close to the predictions for the weekend, coming in just over the $100 million projection at $101.2 million. The result was better than most Marvel sequels, with the film playing a little closer to the third film in a trilogy than the second.
Comparing “International Openings” is a difficult thing to do. The 37 markets which opened this weekend are not the same markets which opened Guardians of the Galaxy in its first weekend. So, here is how the film has fared, according to Deadline data. The United Kingdom opened up 86%, Australia 27%, Germany 6%, France 36%, and Mexico 60%. (Australia’s weekend number is affected by the massive sales earlier in the week for ANZAC Day.) Even if overall Vol. 2 only raised 30-40% across the board, that means it’s in line for an overall international take of $572-616 million.
