Meanwhile, ‘Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol.2’ director James Gunn has thanked fans and shared his difficult journey from being a young man to a successful director.

‘Guardians 2’ pulled in over $200 million in its opening weekend, $140 million of which was grossed domestically in America, Variety reports. To celebrate, James Gunn took to Facebook to personally thank his fans for their support.

The post is long and heartfelt. It covers everything from the box office success, to Gunn’s cinema history and his childhood of feeling isolated and struggling with mental health.


“I would be lying if I said I don’t get distracted by the numbers. The first thing I do in the morning is roll over in bed and check my phone for the morning box office reports,” Gunn began.

“But, in the end, it’s not what matters to me. I write this now to let you know, but also to remind myself. Because I’m human and I sometimes forget.”
