Most of us thought that Guardians of the Galaxy had all the makings of a hit, but the third highest grossing Marvel Studios movie of all-time behind only Iron Man 3 and The Avengers? Now that's impressive! As of right now, it has topped both Captain America: The Winter Soldier and The Amazing Spider-Man 2, and as it continues to dominate the Chinese box office, it WILL beat Bryan Singer's X-Men: Days of Future Past to become the #1 superhero movie of 2014. A sequel has already been given a 2017 release date, and at this rate, it will more than likely be yet another $1 billion hit for the Kevin Feige led studio. We'll be sure to keep you updated over the coming weeks.
