It was a hit. A double hit as opposed to a home run hit. t:
Most of those billion dollars were automatic just on account of being the sequel to the $1.5B home run hit. It made $1.4B by being a double level hit. It could have made a fair bit more by being another home run. And it would have made significantly less by getting out, but even then would likely have finished over a billion.

This just passed $860M WW, which should be the final WW milestone.
OS it's scraping in the last few dollars, earning $63,229 over the weekend.
Domestically it's also still going with $364,450 over the weekend, dropping only 28.5% from last weekend, which is impressive because it lost 32.8% of its theaters on Friday.
If it's going into discount theaters that will probably be around Labor Day. We'll have to wait to see. If it does, that would give it a little boost, which could be enough to drag it past the $390M domestic mark for a final cherry on top before it leaves theaters.
Domestic: $387,259,952
+ Foreign: $472,853,865
= Worldwide: $860,113,817
An earlier DVD release is a newer trend I guess? It's costing the box office an extra million or so, but they must do it to maximize DVD/Blu Ray sales.
After Avengers came out in 2012, I heard it didn't start making money until it hit $1 billion.Would GOTGV2 have been regarded as a box office bomb or flop in another era? The film grossed $863 million on a $200 million budget, so not a flop. However, Disney only collected $383 million from that $863 million gross (the rest going to theaters and in taxes) and the film had a total expenditure of $515 million; it only went into profit during its video window.
So based on one particular criteria (if you're basing theaters as the only revenue stream) this film would technically be a flop for not breaking even at the box office.
