LOS ANGELES – The intergalactic misfits of Guardians of the Galaxy are the summer’s box-office superheroes.
The cosmic romp topped the Labour Day box office with a three-day take of $22 million — its third time in first place since its release five weeks ago, according to studio estimates Monday. With North American ticket sales of more than $280 million so far, Guardians is also the summer’s — and the year’s — top-grossing film to date domestically.
