Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy film has earned over $645 million worldwide and recently passed the $300 million mark at both the domestic and international box offices. Guardians of the Galaxy opened domestically August 1 with $94.3 million to become the biggest August debut of all time and ultimately the biggest August release ever; it’s also the highest grossing film of the year and the first to surpass $300 million in 2014 domestically. After becoming the 10th straight Marvel Studios film to open at #1, Guardians of the Galaxy occupied the top spot domestically for four of its first six weekends in release.

Synopsis: From Marvel, the studio that launched the epic franchises of “Iron Man,” “Thor,” “Captain America” and “Marvel’s The Avengers,” comes an unlikely new team—the “Guardians of the Galaxy.” The Marvel Cinematic Universe expands into the cosmos when brash space adventurer Peter Quill steals a coveted orb and becomes the object of a relentless bounty hunt. To evade his enemies, Quill forges an uneasy truce with Rocket, a gun-toting raccoon; Groot, a tree-like humanoid; the deadly assassin Gamora; and the revenge-driven Drax. But when Quill discovers the true power of the orb, he must rally his ragtag band of misfits for a desperate battle that will decide the fate of the galaxy. Featuring amazing new characters and exclusive bonus features, this must-own blockbuster will have you hooked on a feeling… of pure adrenaline!

[JBrax]

One of the best movies I've seen in a long time. This will be a day one buy for me.

 

[NBPk402]

No Dolby Atmos?

 

[bkeeler10]

^ Indeed. Atmos was the first thing I looked for too. Grrr . . .

 

[Mike Edwards]

Marvel/Disney hasn't said when they will release any Atmos Titles. so far only paramount is releasing any titles (Hercules and Ninja Turtles are the next on their plate)

 

[PassingInterest]

I am Groot!

 

[orion]

Sweet. I didn't think they would make the release date before Christmas. I am holding out to watch it until I own it. Should be a fun evening.

New Trailer from Marvel in anticipation of next month's release

I wanted to see this movie in the theater but due to other obligations was not able to. Do you know what the difference is between 2d and 3d? Is the 3d worth getting or should I just get the 2nd version?

I didn't get to see the 3D version in theaters, but I heard it was excellent. I also believe that the 3D version has the exclusive shifting aspect ratio since part of it was IMAX filmed (kind of like how Transformers: Age of extinction had the same thing going on)

 

[tripplej]

Thanks for the details in regards to 3d and 2d. I will see what the 3d box comes with. Sometimes the 3d also comes with 2d so this way, I get both versions.

the 3D combo pack will have a 3D disc, and a 2D disc. the 3D disc will be the only one of the two that has the shifting Imax scenes though. the 2D will just be 2.40:1 constant

 

[tripplej]

Great. I think I made my decision then. 3d it is. This way, will have both versions and the extras. Also, this allows me to switch between the two if 3d isn't that good.
