GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol3 is coming up on an important milestone at the global box office.
The emotional conclusion to writer-director James Gunn’s deeply personal Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy of superhero movies — Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 — might have underwhelmed in its opening weekend at the box office, but the film quietly passed an important commercial milestone recently. After just under a week in theaters worldwide, Guardians of the Galaxy 3 is nearing the $350 million mark.
The film has made $138 million domestically, and another $205 million from overseas markets, for a combined global gross of $344 million. Guardians of the Galaxy 3 was produced on a reported budget of $250 million, which is massive, and grossed $118 million in its opening weekend at the domestic box office. This was seen as a bit of a disappointment, although it came in line with updated projections.

But that was nearly a decade ago, in 2014. The moviegoing landscape, as well as the audiences’ appreciation for these characters, has changed vastly in the past few years.
How Does Guardians of the Galaxy 3's Box Office Compare to the Previous Chapters? By comparison, the first Guardians of the Galaxy film grossed $333 million domestically and $770 million worldwide, and the second film grossed $398 million domestically and $863 million worldwide. However, there’s no doubt that Marvel, as a franchise, is having some difficulty recently.
It’s too early to tell, but Guardians of the Galaxy 3 will have to make up for its slow start by hoping that positive reviews keep pulling crowds to theaters over the next few weeks. Collider’s Ross Bonaime called it “a funny, exciting, and emotional conclusion” to the trilogy in his review, and opening day audiences awarded it an A CinemaScore.
