The film raked in $114 million domestically and another $168 million from foreign markets in its opening weekend alone. This means that the movie is already more than a quarter of the way to the coveted $1 billion benchmark.<\/p>\n<h3>A Slightly Short Domestic Opening<\/h3>\n<p>Despite the impressive numbers, the third installment of the Guardians franchise fell slightly short of expectations. The film was expected to bring in $120 million domestically, but it only managed to earn $114 million. However, it still managed to rate between the first and second films in the franchise.<\/p>\n<h3>Global Success<\/h3>\n<p>The movie&#8217;s global success is undeniable. It brought in an additional $168 million from 52 markets, including $28 million from China. This brings the worldwide box office total to an impressive $282 million.<\/p>\n<h3>Chris Pratt Shines<\/h3>\n<p>The film, which stars Chris Pratt as Star-Lord, dominated the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/lebron-james-space-jam-bombs-denied-china-opening-despite-groveling-to-communists\/\" title=\"LeBron James\u2019 \u2018Space Jam\u2019 Bombs, Denied China Opening Despite Groveling To Communists\u00a0\">domestic box office<\/a> by almost $100 million for the weekend. It was followed by another Pratt-led film, <strong>Super Mario Bros.<\/strong>, which brought in just over $18 million.<\/p>\n<h3>Super Mario Bros.

Since then, it has become the first film of 2023 to pass the $1 billion benchmark globally and is touted as the most successful video game-based film in movie history.<\/p>\n<h3>Half of the Billion-Dollar Club Headlined by Pratt<\/h3>\n<p>Since the start of the pandemic, only five movies have reached the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/tom-cruise-sends-message-to-audience-after-top-gun-maverick-crosses-1-billion-mark\/\" title=\"Tom Cruise Sends Message To Audience After \u2018Top Gun: Maverick\u2019 Crosses  Billion Mark\">billion-dollar mark<\/a>.
