Thanos cometh!

Marvel is back in theaters this weekend with the Guardians of the Galaxy.  Despite all the press and the anticipation for another 'end-of-the-credits-Avengers ... clip' teaser, there are mixed emotions in seeing this flick. I really have no idea who the Guardians are and never heard of them until a few years ago.  For that matter, didn't know that Marvel had the Avengers until Iron Man hit the theaters.  

This movie has the potential for a big box office and could decide the fate of a couple of other August movies (ahem Turtles).  Also due out this week is Get On Up which is James Brown's bioflick.  I don't see this posing much of a threat and pretty much has a different target market.  With only a handful of teams picking Guardians in the league, this opening only looks to create a bigger division between the top and bottom.

Speaking of the league, Chuck catapults into second in the Multipliers!  Chuck could be a factor in the month of August if one of these two things occurs.  The first is if Jessabelle and/or The Hundred-Foot Journey has a surprise big opening.  Second, if either movie decides to postpone their opening and he gets to use his alternate, Guardians of the Galaxy.  

We are just a week away from the culminating event of "Apes vs Turtles"!  Predictions?  I say Turtles makes $45 million and Colleen loses by under $5 ... dun dun duuuuuuun.
