After the major success of the first installment, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 had pretty big expectations but didn't fail to deliver at the box office, topping both the domestic and worldwide lists.
"Disney/Marvel's 'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.
2' had a terrific global weekend of $268.8 million, including $145 million from its first place debut in North America for a massive worldwide overall total of $427.6 million in just 13 days of release," said comScore's Senior Media Analyst Paul Dergarabedian.
"This pushes the Marvel Cinematic Universe past $11 billion in combined global grosses, from 15 films since the MCU's inception in 2008."
The Marvel universe isn't done yet, there is still Spider-Man: Homecoming set to hit theaters on July 7.
The film is the first of its kind featuring Tom Holland as Spider-Man. It is a total reboot of the last two series but is shaping up to be a big one with the Tony Stark/Avengers link.
