Guardians did it well, as did the first Iron Man, but I wouldn't expect another cape flick to do it so well until its sequel or a Deadpool film.
Never under-estimate the lure of all-ages appeal. Many successful franchises played that to their advantage, and GOTG is just the latest one as it zooms past $418 million dollars. Still with many markets (big markets) yet to open! That's what I like about this success the most - it sends a clear signal to Hollywood that you can succeed with anything if you craft an excellent movie and dont take yourself too seriously in the process!
I never did, all I'm saying is that it's known that kids love watching the same movie over and over again un like adults where it usually gets old/ you want to watch something different, kids don't need that, if they find something they like, they watch it nearly every day. I did it with Jurassic Park and now my nephew is as well, he literally watched Jurassic Park every day (well..some days he isn't aloud to but every chance he gets he watches it) I stayed at my sisters house not to long ago and we watched Jurassic Park 1,2,3 that night and the next morning watched them all again. He's 5 btw.

Why don't you make a sample of hundreds of films, across multiple genres? If you're trying to show critics disagree with the audience?
Also, the reason Ninja Turtles is beating Guardians is because a lot of people have seen Guardians now. Not many people go for repeat viewings of films.
Then why is critically acclaimed guardians of the galaxy losing to critically panned ninja turtles for two consecutive weeks.
Because GotG came out a week prior, and the two movies aren't going head to head in their opening weekends? You realize its quite rare for a movie to maintain number 1 box office position unless it has literally no competition, right?
I wish they had released MoS in March or July. Then it wouldn't have been eaten by all the other films out.
