Critics have pointed out that Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 is a good movie with excellent word-of-mouth, especially considering the MCU’s recent struggles with fan fatigue and franchise damage.

The impressive hold and positive reviews suggest that the film might ultimately reach between $750 million to $800 million globally, especially if it continues to perform well in international markets like China.
