Guardians of the Galaxy are back on the top! The sequel to 2014’s movie earned $145 million at over 4,000 locations in the U.S.

Disney’s distribution chief Dave Hollis said:

“We feel great. It is a spectacular number, period. This is such a fresh and exciting film … it’s the kind of event that gets people excited about going to theaters.”

Guardians 2 made a total of $428 million worldwide, after the film premiered in Korea, China, and Russia, among other countries.

Hollis explained where the success came from:

“The strength of the brand is a license to take risks. These films have never just been superhero films, they are genre films. Each of these movies feels wholly and uniquely different.”
