Avengers AOU made a little over $ 100 million LESS than Avengers 1 . The Empire Strikes back made about $ 200 million LESS than A New Hope . SpiderMan 2 made about $ 38 million LESS than SpiderMan 1 . Iron Man 2 made about $ 38 million MORE than Iron Man 1 . Basically , my point is , just because the first movie made a lot of money , doesn ' t mean the second will make much more . What made GOTG get a lot of money was its NOVELTY . It was unique , it was fresh , it was new . GOTG 2 will not have that same advantage because people already are aware and exposed to it . Actually thinking GOTG 2 is GUARANTEED to make 1 Billion worldwide is a really really big stretch . Honestly , the only remaining MCU films that are guaranteed to make 1 Billion WW are the Infinity War films . SpiderMan Homecoming might be the only nonInfinity War movie that comes the closest to 1 Billion .
