Box Office: “Guardians of the Galaxy 3” Opens Just 3% Over Previous Installment with $17.5 Mil

Share

You may not know, or case, but “Guardians of the Galaxy” is coming to an end at Marvel.

The third part of the trilogy opened last night in “previews” to $17.5 million. Sounds like a lot, but the previous installment opened to a similar number– $17 million. That’s a 2.9% increase, which isn’t a lot.

The space adventure film has a decent 81% on Rotten Tomatoes. But the negative reviews, coming from real reviewers and not bloggers, are not encouraging. The consensus is this is just a rehash. The first movie was really fun and inventive. But no one will stop there when there’s money to be made.

How will “GOTG 3” fare over the weekend? It will be number 1, but a pale on. At this point, no one cares really.
