The Guardians of the Galaxy managed to outdo themselves with their recent sequel, a movie that has now broken the $800 million mark at the worldwide box office.
The movie hasn't even been in theaters a full month yet, and as of Tuesday, it had already pulled in $342.7 million stateside and $454.7 million overseas (via Variety). Now the film enters an elite club, becoming the fifth Marvel Studios title to surpass that mark, a group that includes The Avengers, Avengers: Age of Ultron, Captain America: Civil War, and Iron Man 3.
The film also seems poised to hit the $1 billion club, but it remains to be seen if it can keep up the momentum. Odds are it will, and the good news is that director James Gunn is returning for a third volume in the trilogy.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 currently enjoys an 87.06 score on ComicBook.com's composite rankings, and you can submit your review here. The official synopsis can be found below.
Set to the backdrop of 'Awesome Mixtape #2,' Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 continues the team's adventures as they traverse the outer reaches of the cosmos.
