It's been another busy weekend at the box office, but Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is still performing well even with still competition from newer titles like Fast X and The Little Mermaid.
After a weekend which saw it drop just 49% internationally, the Marvel Studios threequel and James Gunn's MCU farewell earned a mighty $25.1 million offshore. Now, with an overseas total of $431.6 million, Vol. 3 has surpassed $731 million worldwide.
This comes during its fourth weekend in theaters, and while it's hard to predict how much higher the threequel will soar from here, it's shaping up to be one of Marvel Studios' biggest post-pandemic box office hits.
Fast X, which hasn't made the biggest of impacts domestically, continues to do big business elsewhere. With $108 million domestically and $399.3 million internationally, the latest instalment of the Fast & Furious franchise has revved up $507.26 million after just two weekends in theaters.
As you might expect, though, The Little Mermaid has gone straight to #1 across the globe.
While we're still waiting on final numbers, Disney's latest live-action remake is eyeing $97 million - $98 million from Friday to Sunday and $121 million - $123 million from Friday to Monday in North America during Memorial Day weekend.
Overseas, it's believed the movie has earned $68.3 million during its three-day opening weekend for a current global total of somewhere around $164 million. It is underperforming in China and there's been a lot of review bombing happening, prompting some sites - such as IMDb - to put up advisory messages.
Despite that, it has a 95% Audience Score from verified ticket buyers on Rotten Tomatoes, while CinemaScore (which polls moviegoers as they leave theaters) has awarded it an A grade. Even with Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse fast approaching, we expect The Little Mermaid to be one of the summer's biggest hits.
