Guardians Of The Galaxy: 10 Reasons Marvel Need It To Succeed

10. A $150 Million Budget

Marvel StudiosMarvel StudiosDespite the obvious risk of this film, Marvel haven't trod carefully when it comes to the budget. A truly stellar cast and what look to be some astounding special effects and production have amounted to a grand total of around $150 million. Having put that kind of money in to the project, Marvel will definitely be hoping it isn't a blow out. The lowest grossing movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to date was the Incredible Hulk - a movie with exactly the same budget as this one - and that has amassed a worldwide total of $263 million so far. This is a much riskier prospect than the Hulk movie and, if it flunks, Marvel might make a loss. Hopefully that won't happen and we can't see it - it looks far too awesome - but Marvel in particular will be praying for the movie to be a success for the purposes of profit.
