“Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2” has rocketed to a $17 million opening night, beating out early showings of the first film.
Disney reported the sales estimate for Thursday night preview screenings on Friday. The sequel is the biggest opening night earner of the year so far.
The first “Guardians” film was a surprise blockbuster for many, transforming a little-known band of Marvel superheroes into household names. It earned $11.2 million on its opening night.
