That is WEIRD. Judging by my Thursday 7 PM showing with like 10 people in it, I was worried it would underperform.

But that's anecdotal, BAM

They got my money and I enjoyed the first 7 minutes.

 

[PhoncipleBone]

GotG had the biggest Thursday night opening of the year, at $11.2 million. Can't extrapolate the whole opening weekend from that with certainty, but it's going to be big.

Tracking huge with kids, so Saturday could be a monster.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

I'm going to laugh if this movie outperforms Winter Soldier.

Like seriously, I never expected this kind of attention for a GOTG movie. We keep saying it over and over again but Marvel has made some kinda voodoo magic happen with this shit.

Spoiler

or they just made a good movie

It's gonna warm my damn heart if this movie catches on and becomes a huge thing.

my 7 pm was packed, and upon leaving there were huuuuggge lines everywhere for the 10

but thats nyc so who knows

 

[TEJ]

I still stand by my 800 mill prediction. This movie is going to be huge.

 

[BronsonLee]

I think the theater I go to (it's nearest to me) just doesn't do well with Marvel movies. They're only showing it 4 times a day. Which is weird because it's right next to Temple University.

Kids love them some Star-Prince, according to the Nova man!

Mine is Philly, and I expected it to be packed so I got there early. Nobody was there. Then again, there was also an advance screening for another movie a half hour after, so people were likely going to that. I have no idea how the other showings did.

[Slayven]

Augusta, ga. Got black, white, old, young, and entire families.

 

[witness]

Holy shit that's a hugely impressive opening. I couldn't have imagined it would have a bigger opening night than TWS. Going on Sunday morning to hopefully avoid shitty crowds, very excited.

 

[Lashley]

Pleased it's doing well, I'm gonna go again, gonna force my Mum and Gran to attend too.

 

[Mariolee]

10.5 HOURS LEFT

OOGA CHAKA OOGA CHAKA

Just tell me it's worth it you guys.

 

[EraldoCoil]

WOW!

Is all I can say....

Also theater was empty here in Korea.....All the other marvel movies have been sold out, but tonight it was seriously just me, my friend and 1 family there :'(

This movie deserves all the money.....gonna go see it again! ^_^

 

[Mr. Poolman]

How was Bautista?

I'm dying to see this tomorrow with the lady!

Just came back a few moments ago from seeing it.

So worth it.

How was Bautista?

He did well! I had my doubts, but he did fine with what was given him (granted, this was not much but it worked so well so idgaf)

 

[BronsonLee]

Nah it sucks don't bother

huehuehuehuehuhu

He nails it

Tracking huge with kids, so Saturday could be a monster.

I was thinking that was what was gonna drive up the ticket sales. The Guardians have already appeared in both Earth's Mightiest Heroes and Ultimate Spider-Man, and you can be sure that a lot of kids have watched at least the latter.

Plus, what kind of kid would say no to a gun-toting talking raccoon?

 

[Slayven]

Why are there so many commricals?

Tied with two others for best in the group.

YES.

I honestly didn't expect to be this goddamned right.

 

[TEJ]

lawl

 

[Loomba]

My 6pm showing yesterday was filled the brim, great atmosphere as well.

 

[Slayven]

Starting. Later guys

 

[Hot Coldman]

In order of how much I enjoyed them: Bautista > Pratt > Rocket > Groot >>>>>> Saldana.

The first 4 are so close to each other.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

Why are there so many commricals?

It's been like that for a while now. It went from 10 minute previews/commercials to almost half an hour.

 

[Neoxon]

My showing legit applauded after the movie.

Hell, a bunch of my Theatre & PALs friends saw the movie because of me & loved it.

That's awesome to see. Gonna be real interesting to see where it ends up for the weekend and overall.

 

[Wilbur]

Star-Lord > Groot > Drax > Rocket > Gamora (but she was still alright and Saldana is smoking hot in all colours)

 

[Hot Coldman]

I also really enjoyed Peter Serafinowicz' character, especially for what amounted to "disgruntled Nova officer".

 

[PopeReal]

I just don't get the cinematography complaints. Seems like I watched a different movie.

 

[Mr. Poolman]

Really???

I didn't expected Bautista to be this good! but those are great news!

 

[PhoncipleBone]

Don't worry. No matter how well it does, people will deflate it by pointing out that it started at 7pm and was in 3d.

 

[a secret-boss]

my local news buncha haters.

47 million for Guardians this weekend. HAHAHAHA

 

[Negaduck]

Seeing it again with the gf. Wanted to watch it back to back but she said the second time had to be with her.

Spoiler

Nothing goes over my head. My reflexes are too good. . . I would catch it

 

[Froli]

Rocket > Star-Lord > Drax = Groot > Gamora.

I'm not totally surprised, Marvel nailed it with the trailers.

Anyways my theater was sold out, not even TWS did that. People laughed, cried and applaud. The whole cast nailed it. It's a must see again for sure.

 

[Verendus]

DAT BROTISTA

 

[Dave_6]

Both IMAX showings here last night were fucking packed. I got there 45 mins early and was way back in line.

 

[Mengy]

I'm going to laugh if this movie outperforms Winter Soldier.

After having seen it now, I would not be surprised if it did outperform TWS. GotG is going to appeal to pretty much anyone, it's audience will be huge. Such an awesome movie.

Really???

I didn't expected Bautista to be this good! but those are great news!

Honestly Drax was oustanding in this, and Bautista did an excellent job. It's hard to pick a favorite character they all were so good. My gf liked Bautista the best, and I can't really argue with her. They were all so good that it's really more a choice of preference than the fact that one actor did better than the other.

I will say this, Bautista had some of the best lines and moments in the film. He downright got huge laughs from the audience.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

Going with my family to see it again on Tuesday. Biggest screen in the cinema and only £6.50 a ticket.

 

[Tacitus_]

Really???

I didn't expected Bautista to be this good! but those are great news!

His delivery is really flat - but it's intentional so he works off the rest of the cast who are a lot more emotive (yes even Groot).

And yes, I'm saying that he got out acted by a walking sentient bush, but it worked very well for the film. His flat delivery got probably almost as much laughs as the hijinks of Rocket.

 

[bananafactory]

Man, with those Thursday numbers the sky is the limit for this movie. Word of mouth in my circles is fantastic, many people convincing others to go see it.

Alright but I totally disagree with you.
