The Bottom Line: May 5th, 2017

Quick Takes – There’s a new Marvel movie out this weekend, so you know the drill. Find out how Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 will do in this week’s edition of The Bottom Line!

Here is a look at a few films that are opening on May 5th.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (PG-13) 137 mins.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 will make all the money this weekend, including yours. Marvel managed to turn an obscure, out-there comic into a legit smash hit with the last one, and this one looks to go bigger and bolder with the concept. Plus, Groot is a baby now, and no one can resist the charms of Baby Groot. Expect this to take the number one spot easily, and probably hang onto it for a couple of weeks.

The Bottom Line

Guardians of the Galaxy will take number one, while Vin Diesel’s slightly less intelligible role will fall to second place. Is it crazy to think The Boss Baby might climb back up to third place? Because that’s what I’m saying. It’s a weird weekend, so let’s say Bahubaali hits fourth. And then Beauty and the Beast at number five, because why not?

Movies To Look Forward To:

King Arthur: Legend of the Sword, Snatched (May 12th)
