Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 3 made an impressive start to its box office journey by exceeding global expectations on its opening weekend, earning $282 million, surpassing the predicted value of $264 million. In its second week of release, the third Guardians film outperformed Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania globally. Domestically, the film ranks in the top five for second-weekend holds among MCU releases. Additionally, Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 3 set a record-breaking opening weekend at the IMAX Global box office, earning $25 million.

Typically, MCU entries become available on Disney’s streaming platform 90 days after their theatrical release, so audiences can expect the film to be accessible for home viewing by the end of the month.
