Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is the 5/4 favourite to be the highest grossing movie worldwide this year
Bookmakers have odds on the Highest Grossing Movie worldwide this year and it is Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 that is the favourite to top the charts.
The latest movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is set to release in May and the latest odds suggest that it will be the third film in the Guardians franchise that tops Box Office.
Paddy Power say there's a 44% chance of the third Guardians film topping the Box Office figures at the end of the year with Fast X just behind in the betting.
| Highest Grossing Movie 2023 - Worldwide | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 | 5/4 | 44.4% |
| Fast X | 5/2 | 28.6% |
| Spiderman: Across the Spider-Verse | 5/1 | 16.7% |
| The Super Mario Bros. Movie | 8/1 | 11.1% |
| The Little Mermaid | 10/1 | 9.1% |
The other three films in the top five of the betting are aimed at a younger audience, with animated film Spiderman: Across the Spider-Verse given a 16% chance of topping the Box Office in 2023.
Fast X is set to be released in the same month as Guardians in May
Fast X is also released in May two weeks after Guardians of the Galaxy and both films will be competing with each other at the Box Office.
The Fast franchise is one of the longest running and most successful movie franchises of all-time and its latest release Fast X will likely continue that run.
Figures wise the highest grossing Fast movie is Furious 7 which had a worldwide gross of $353m which would have put it 15th in the Worldwide gross chart in 2022.
The latest Fast film will need to have a much better performance if it was to top the worldwide box office by the end of the year.
Bookies also make Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 the favourite to top the UK Box Office in 2023
Betting on the UK Box Office figures in 2023 is also available with some bookies and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 also leads the way in this market.
Bookmakers make the Marvel film 6/4 to be the highest grossing movie in the UK this year ahead of its release in May 2023.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 will be released earlier in the UK than it will be in the US with a May 3rd release date pencilled in.
| Highest Grossing Movie 2023 - UK Box Office | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 | 6/4 | 40% |
