But, perhaps due to the positive word of mouth or the general audience’s interest in seeing their favorite characters together in one last adventure, the film did well in its second weekend. one of the lowest drops of the sophomore year In the history of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The film’s worldwide haul of $660 million means it’s on the way to number one Guardians of the Galaxy Around 100 million dollars. The first film, released in 2014, was a surprise hit for Marvel, as the characters weren’t as well-known as Iron Man or Captain America.
