Walt Disney Co.’s Guardians of the Galaxy, the misfit superheroes from deep in Marvel’s comic-book lineup, are about to join Hollywood’s A-list as stars of the biggest summer movie in the U.S.
“Guardians of the Galaxy,” released on Aug. 1, has generated $231.7 million in domestic ticket sales, about $12 million less than the season’s leader, “Transformers: Age of Extinction,” according to researcher Box Office Mojo. “Guardians” took in $25.1 million last weekend in U.S. and Canadian theaters and has time to vanquish the competition in the remaining days of the season.
