The Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3's new box office numbers defy the current Multiverse Saga.
Director James Gunn's final Marvel movie has set a new record for the MCU in the post-pandemic era, however, the success of Guardians 3 could also be used as a critique of past MCU films that have been more focused on concepts of the multiverse with alternate timelines and realities.
Based on a new report, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 has "the best second-weekend hold for a Marvel Cinematic Universe title post-pandemic at a great -51% with US$58 million.
The movie's opening weekend put the final Guardians film at US$118 million.
Not only it is for a second weekend better than the previous two Guardians movies, but it's quite telling that it's the best second-weekend number Marvel Studios has had since the end of the pandemic.
