Marvel Cinematic Universe films of similar stature, which didn't open day-and-date in China. The film earned $114 million (about Rs. 931 crore) from within the US and Canada.

For comparison, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 made around $252 million (about Rs. 2,059 crore) during its opening weekend. In recent times, we've been seeing a common trend where the Chinese market has become increasingly irrelevant to Hollywood movies, with the country having barred several releases.

That said, strong word-of-mouth and positive reviews have propelled new direction.

As per Deadline, when it comes to markets outside the US and Canada, China took the lead, collecting $28.1 million (about Rs. 230 crore) in ticket sales. Following close behind is the UK, which has drawn $14.7 million (about Rs. 120 crore), besting the Korean market which made $13.6 million (about Rs. 111 crore). Mexico came fourth, a little short of Korea's numbers, pulling $13 million (about Rs. 106 crore) for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. The top five regions for the film were rounded out by with $8.2 million (about Rs. 67 crore) in ticket sales so far.

The next few weeks will be crucial for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, as it competes with the highly-anticipated Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, which failed to even break the 500 million mark. GotG 3 is an objectively better film anyway, so I really hope that doesn't happen.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is now showing in theatres worldwide.
