Probably not. The first movie only made $5M there, and I don't think that Rise of the Guardians or The Croods bothered with a Japanese release.
Apes making $100M+ in China is looking to be closed to locked with that $14.8M opening day. The Down side is that How to Train Your Dragon 2 collapsed in the process, and might now miss $70M in China.
November Man and Above and Below. Expect a dip in the box office with football coming back.
As Above/So Below and The November Man. Combined, they still have a rotten rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
hmm never even heard anything about those two. perhaps this will be another win for Guardians?
edit: Oh so As Above, So Below is one of those dime a dozen Found Footage films.
GOTG projected to make $19 million this weekend.

Could this really end up making more than last weekend?

Maybe they are including Monday. I can't tell from that article.
EDIT: It is for the four day weekend. All estimates given in the article mention the four day weekend.
4-Day weekend.
Also, pretty ballsy for that article to say that Guardians "grossed $3.5M on Friday" like they didn't write that article at 6pm PST with nothing but presale and matinee numbers. I'm sure that will be the right ballpark, but this article is treating their numbers as if they already happened.

From the article. They're including Monday as "the weekend."
$19M for Guardians over the 4-day would mean it goes from being $18M behind Man of Steel on Day 28 to $4M behind Man of Steel on Day 32.
I think we can drop the "shot at $300M" talk. It's locked. Guardians will be ahead of Man of Steel (launch aligned) by the end of next weekend.
EDIT: Also, unless it was pulled from all theatres yesterday, Edge of Tomorrow officially broke $100M domestic for the 5 people who still care.

Even if it is close, remember that GotG also has the 3D premium in its favor. In the end, the total gross is all people will see, but others will factor in the 3D premium.
Either way, it is a fantastic start for a once relatively unknown entity.
I care!
Haha. I was pretty insistent that it was going to break the $100M barrier domestic back in June when it started tracking ahead of Elysium. Only took another 2 months to be proven correct.

I guess I'll add MoS into the next Guardians of the Box Office Update.

I know I'm a bit a late but wow @ Sin City 2 Bomba
Like others have said though, the movie is 7 years too late. Back in 2005 - 2007 it could have built itself into a solid movie franchise..
Also I'm not sure what's the point of releasing a past due movie without any marketing. They basically just sent their IP to die and wasting a bunch of money in the process.

Damn those Sin City legs.

I knew it'd drop at least 70% but I didn't think it'd be closer to 80%.
However, I personally know of at least one exhibitor who had it booked for a second weekend and replaced it with "The Hundred-Foot Journey" at the last minute.

I'm sure the close to 2900 theatre venues that are contractually obligated to keep new releases playing for at least 2 weeks are thrilled at that $210 PTA.
Sin City averaged 15-20 tickets per theatre for the entire day yesterday.
I hope those theaters turned off the AC to those empty theaters to at least save money.

Dawn of the Planet of The Apes is by a considerable margin the best blockbuster of this year.

Is it wrong that I skipped it? I went to go watch it at Movie Tavern with a friend, but the showing was sold out.
...I watched Transformers for the 2nd time instead D:

Watching Transformers and not watching planet of the apes. Shame man. Shame.
Yup, Apes is also my favorite blockbuster of the year so far (though CA2, Xmen and GOTG may be closer runners up for me than you)
You should feel bad about this.

Another Guardians of the Box Office Update: The $300M Domestic March for the #1 Movie of the Summer & Year
this is a launch aligned comparison, so that you can see how the movie is doing.
[Movie: Daily - Domestic Gross / # of Days (Total Domestic / WW Gross)]
GotG: $3,845,000 - $262,142,000 / 29 ($262,142,000 / $507,442,000) <est>
Cap 2: $2,099,784 - $231,480,995 / 29 ($259,746,958 / $714,063,958)
IM 1: $3,783,237 - $266,408,309 / 29 ($318,412,101 / $585,174,222)
MoS: $1,363,158 - $277,533,036 / 29 ($291,045,518 / $668,045,518)
Current Domestic Top 5 of 2014 (as of Friday Totals)
[#. Movie: (Domestic Gross / WW Gross)]
1. GotG: ($262,142,000 / $507,442,000)
2. Cap 2: ($259,746,958 / $714,063,958)
3. LEGO Movie: ($257,748,132 / $468,048,132)
4. Transformers: ($243,950,966 / $1,065,250,966)
5. Maleficent: ( $237,841,302 / $747,841,302)
_______________________________________
6. X-Men: DOFP: ($232,814,528 / $744,938,694)
7. Dawn/Apes: ($204,419,991 / $555,404,991)
Guardians looks to have enough legs to cross that $300M mark, but can it catch up with IM1 @ $318M domestic? Next milestone to cross off the list though is Man of Steel.
Wanna predict when GotG collects $30M more domestic to pass MoS @ $291M?

In my defense;
Apes was sold out and there were no other showings for 2 hours
I went there to go to Movie Tavern, not actually watch a movie
I didn't pay to see Transformers at all (I went to the Philly premiere and had a free ticket for Movie Tavern).
tldr; FIGHT ME

jess alba isnt much of a box office draw since shitting out kids.
She was never much of a box office draw.
I saw Sin City. Theatre was pretty empty, but I normally catch my flicks during business hours on slow work days so thats not saying much.
Anyways the movie itself felt pretty fucking ho-hum. Almost like it really doesn't need to exist. The first one alone was fine, this one struggled not to feel tacked on and unnecessary but just fails. It drags on pretty badly too. Thank god for Mickey Rourke, he was the only somewhat redeemable part of the movie.

it was werid how it just ran out of steam mid way through. The Dwight section dragged on too long and the last bit with Nancy ended anticlimactically...hen the movie was over. The pacing was bizarre.
I really liked the JGL storyline, thought his stuff was the most interesting
Do they mention that it's based on a Marvel comic series at all?
