Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 continued its box office sweep this weekend, with no signs of slowing down. The James Gunn-directed film opened in its final market (Japan) this past Friday, leading to a weekend haul of $52.5 million (according to analysis from Deadline), with its total worldwide now gross sitting at $630 million. It seems pretty likely at this point that Vol. 2 willl surpass its predecessor's total intake of $773.3 million soon enough.
In other spacefaring news, Ridley Scott's Alien: Covenant also began its international run ahead of its domestic release this Friday, taking in $42 million overseas, finishing as the No. 2 international film of the weekend. Back on Earth, Guy Ritchie's King Arthur: Legend Of The Sword continued to struggle with a $29 million intake.
Alien: Covenant releases this Friday, May 19th.
