Guardians Tracking to Open at $60 Million

Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy is reportedly projected to bring in roughly $60 million over its opening weekend.

According to TheWrap, new pre-release data that surfaced late last week shows Guardians of the Galaxy scoring big at the box office when it debuts August 1 in North America. That would be a strong domestic opening for the Marvel and Disney release, which reportedly has a production budget of around $170 million.

Guardians of the Galaxy is also a lesser-known Marvel title than other properties — like Iron Man, Captain America, and Spider-Man — so success isn’t guaranteed. James Gunn is helming the action movie, with Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Vin Diesel, and Bradley Cooper starring.
