BOX OFFICE: GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY Now 2014's Second Highest Grossing Movie

This weekend, Guardians of the Galaxy become the second highest grossing movie of 2014 at the worldwide box office with over $765.1 million in total so far. It took that position from Disney's Maleficent starring Angeline Jolie, and has easily surpassed the hauls of better known comic book movie franchises like X-Men: Days of Future Past, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and The Amazing Spider-Man 2. Still #1? Transformers: Age of Extinction, a movie it's hard to imagine being topped this year thanks to the $1.087 billion the Michael Bay helmed release has so far grossed. 

With $329.3 million at the domestic box office, Guardians of the Galaxy is still easily the highest grossing movie of the year, with Captain America: The Winter Soldier in second place with $259.7 million. Guardians of the Galaxy 2 hits on May 5th, 2017.

While I didn't necessarily care for this movie, and the whole "holding-hands to beat the space bad guy" kind of vibe, I do appreciate the immense amount of effort that went into the design of characters and worlds. Very colorful, very diverse, and I loved Chris Pratt.

7/10, glad it made a lot of money.

Just wondering...if T4 isn't considered a CBM when it comes to these box office wars why are there still news articles about not only that film and it's predecessors but the upcoming T5 film on this site as well? lol

Congrats to Gunn by the way, really respect the guy for writing the sequel right now as we speak. That's compassion right there.

Millions have already mentioned this but yes "Guardians of the Galaxy" a wacky MUCH lesser known property outgrossed Spider-man, X-Men, and Captain America.

Now it's pretty much a safe bet that Dr. Strange, Black Panther, Captain Marvel, and Inhumans are going to be hits as well.

I have a feeling Hunger Games will beat everything. Maybe not within 2014 but it's overall box office will be higher than this and Transformers.

Loved it great job marketing and managing to make a talking raccoon with a sentient tree movie idols. Came out if nowhere a big skull in the cosmos.
