Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3 Tops $300M Global, Propelling Disney Across $2B WW So Far In 2023

Disney/Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 has rocketed past the $300M mark globally through Monday. At the same time, it will propel The Walt Disney Company across $2B worldwide for 2023 to date with today’s numbers included.

Weekend actuals on the James Gunn-directed threequel came in higher with a full opening frame of $289.3M worldwide, thanks in part to stronger-than-estimated domestic and European play on Sunday.

Then on Monday, the gang added an estimated $29.4M worldwide ($8.9M domestic/$20.5M offshore), taking the global running tally to $318.7M. Of that, domestic reps $127.3M with the international box office at a running $191.4M. Monday was aided again by word of mouth along with holidays in some markets.

It will be closely followed by Universal which has Fast X starting global rollout on May 17 and is already not far behind. The two studios are expected to jockey over the next months.
