There wasn’t any doubt that Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy would be taking in Box Office gold this weekend. After the last couple month’s of a slump in ticket sales, it was a question as to just how much it would bring in. The GOTG took in more than $94million and solidified it as #1 at the Box Office.
No one even tried to come up against it this weekend, so the others in the Top Ten included Lucy and Get On UP amongst others. They each brought in $18.2million and $14million respectively. Check out the rest below.
