Iron Man 3 was considered as a phenomenal success because it had the same budget as Iron Man 2 but grossed twice as much.

As for Guardians, last I checked it didn't have RDJ or ScarJo so it has less to pay in terms of residuals. Also, if you want to use proportions, you need to add in the marketing budget as well.

Truth is plenty of sites including boxofficemojo and other boxoffice pundits were predicting a much higher opening for Civil War. $210-220M in fact, for the US.

Thanks for proving my point! Individual movies and franchises have different expectations for it, so you dragging in AoU's performance and what Disney thought about that is just silly. That was all I wanted to establish.

Except this isn't an individual movie.
