\"\"Accounting for over 79% of the cumulative top ten gross, Disney\/Marvel’s\u00a0Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2<\/b> topped the domestic box office, showing a 54% increase compared to the 2014 original and giving Disney the top two openers of 2017 so far: Beauty and the Beast being the other.\u00a0The sequel to the 2014 hit brought in an estimated \u00a0$145 million domestically and $425 million worldwide; topping that mark in just 13 days.<\/p>\n

That makes it Marvel’s fifteenth straight No. 1 opening at the domestic box office. The studio has never had a movie not open on top.<\/p>\n

“Vol. 2” is Marvel Studios’ fifth biggest opening — an impressive feat for a brand that has brought in more than $11 billion around the world during the last decade.<\/p>\n

Helping matters further is the “A” CinemaScore, which is right in line with pretty much all MCU features, and don’t be surprised to see that opening weekend total bump up a notch or two and perhaps finish right around $147 million. Audience demographics show the film playing to an audience that was 56% male vs. 44% female, and overall 22% of the audience as 25 years-old or younger and a whopping 72% of the audience were adults while only 9% were teenagers.<\/p>\n

The Mouse House\u00a0is looking to wrangle more box office accomplishments by the year’s end.<\/p>\n

Films like “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales,” Pixar’s “Cars 3,” Marvel’s “Thor: Ragnarok” and “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” are all still on deck.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
