Buckle in MCU fans, GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 3 is finally making its way to Disney+.
Sophia Scorziello of Variety reported that beginning August 2, the entire franchise will be available to stream on Disney+.
GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 3 earned over $840 million in box office sales, which made the film the second highest grossing film of 2023 just behind THE SUPER MARIO BROS MOVIE.
Movieguide® previously reported the opening weekend box office sales for GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 3:
The third, and final, installment in the GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY trilogy released to theaters this weekend as the summer movie season starts up. The movie was originally forecasted to bring in $170 million during its opening weekend, but thanks to positive word-of-mouth, the estimate was raised to $282 million, which was easily surpassed by the real numbers.
The movie raked in $114 million at the domestic box office, making it the second-largest opening weekend this year, trailing only to THE SUPER MARIO BROS. MOVIE. The Marvel movie was especially popular in Imax, which drew in $25 million in global ticket sales, the largest global opening of the year for Imax.
“James Gunn and our partners at Marvel and Disney leaned heavily into Imax technology to deliver a s=visually stunning and emotional finale to this iconic franchise,” Imax CEO Rich Gelfond said. “We expect the strong audience response to yield a long, successful run at the box office.”
According to Movieguide®, GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 3 held a “Strong Christian, redemptive worldview with very strong moral, pro-life elements includes three strong and positive references to God, a near death experience with allusions to ending up in a beautiful Heaven, and many scenes and dialogue and situations promote compassion, courage, sacrifice, standing up against evil, doing the right thing when it’s really difficult, repentance, and family.”
A part of Movieguide®’s review reads:
GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 3 tells an emotional tale about the Guardians risking their lives to save a friend. The crazed scientist who experimented created Rocket, the wise-cracking racoon character, wants him returned. One of the villain’s rogue colleagues comes to the Guardians’ headquarters and mortally wounds Rocket. The villain has planted a coded device in Rocket to stop anyone from reviving him. So, while Rocket hangs on for dear life in their spaceship’s medical facility, the Guardians must infiltrate the villain’s huge lab to retrieve the device’s code and save Rocket.
GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 3 has some of the most moving, gripping, funny, redemptive content in any Marvel movie. There are at least three positive references to God and some allusions to Heaven and its beauty. The movie also promotes compassion, courage, sacrifice, standing up to evil, doing the right thing, repentance, and family. However, some of VOL. 3’s violence is excessive. The movie has about 25 to 27 obscenities, a gross scatological joke and some homosexual jokes involving a minor effeminate villain. MOVIEGUIDE® advises extreme caution.
