The film grossed an additional $28.7 million from global openings, earning $93.7 million globally. With a strong opening weekend, Paramount has announced a sequel set for June 2016! <\/p>\n<p>The film might not have resonated with the critics, however that didn\u2019t matter a lot to its core target audience: kids. Moviegoers overall rated the Michael Bay-produced movie with a lackluster cinema score, kids however were way more enthusiastic, giving the film an overall A. <\/p>\n<p>Guardians of the Galaxy took second place with $41.5 million, falling an expected 56 percent from its blockbuster debut. For comparison\u2019s sake, Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Thor:The Dark World fell 57 percent in weekend two, while Iron Man 3 fell 58 percent. Guardians has grossed $175.9 million in its first 10 days and could turn out to be one of the highest grossing films of the year.  Disney and Marvel\u2019s sci-fi space opera is also doing quite well internationally: Its worldwide total is $313 million, with debuts in France, Spain, Germany, Italy, Japan, and China still to come.<\/p>\n<h2>Top Five Movies<\/h3>\n<p>1.
