Marvel's hit Phase Two adventure Guardians of
the Galaxy has hit another box office milestone,
passing the $500 million mark worldwide less
than four weeks after opening in theaters.
Guardians of the Galaxy has earned $255.2
million domestically as of Monday, August 25,
which is just behind Captain America: The
Winter Soldier 's $259.8 million take as the top
domestic total of the year so far. Guardians of
the Galaxy has also earned $245.3 million in
international territories, although it has yet to
open in key markets such as China, Germany,
Italy and Japan.
While Guardians of the Galaxy will easily
surpass Captain America: The Winter Soldier as
the top domestic movie of the year, it still has a
long way to go for the worldwide crown.
Transformers: Age of Extinction has earned over
$1 billion globally, $821.3 million of which has
come from international markets.
Marvel has found success on the music charts
as well, with the Guardians of the Galaxy
soundtrack, dubbed "Awesome Mix Vol. 1,"
taking the top spot on the Billboard Top 200
chart for two weeks in a row.
