I had no idea Lucy pulled in over $300 million (international and domestic combined). And it's looking like GotG will pull in $300 million for its domestic gross (and sniff $600 million for its combined gross).

Guardians still hasn't opened in Japan, Italy and China. Depending on how well it does in China it could wind up with a final world wide total somewhere around $650M-$700M.

Wow, I've actually seen two films in the top ten on one list and the same two in the top 12 on the other, the first time all year that's happened: LUCY and EXPENDABLES 3, which also happen to be the first 2014 Hollywood releases I've actually liked.
