Overseas, the quirky superhero sequel has already grossed nearly $150 million from its first raft of foreign markets.
Director James Gunn's Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 could rocket to $150 million or more in its North American blast-off this weekend.
The Marvel and Disney superhero sequel officially kicks off the summer season at the box office, and is the first in a tentpole parade of sequels and franchise reboots.
Guardians Vol. 2 is expected to do laps around the first Guardians of the Galaxy in terms of their respective opening numbers. No one was quite sure how the first film would perform, considering it featured a rag-tag group of lessor-known superheroes, but Guardians of the Galaxy impressed by opening to $94.3 million domestically in early August 2014 on its way to grossing $773 million globally.

And a reminder from Atomica to please be kind to those who have not seen the film yet - use spoiler tags if you absolutely must reveal key plot points.
Thank you.
