While some felt the film wasn’t as fresh as the original, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 has enjoyed immense success at the box office thus far which has naturally led Marvel to bring Gunn back for a third film.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 has now officially passed the original film at the box office.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 has now passed the first film at both the domestic and foreign box office (numbers from Box Office Mojo); its total gross now stands at right above $783 million worldwide.
For comparison, the first Guardians of the Galaxy made $773 million worldwide during its entire box office run back in 2014.
