It's currently tracking at about $60M-$80M OW right now, which should put it in the $500M-$600M WW ball park.
Cap 2 opened at $95M w/ excellent WoM, and made it to $712M WW, where I believe it was actually pulled out early in China (America in the title? no Chinese production companies involved?).
Guardians is riding on excellent WoM already, coming off the Cap 2 HYPE and the A2 anticipation.
It may not make $700M like Cap 2, but Thor 2 had the same $170M budget and didn't quite get that kind of money either ($644M). So as long as Guardians breaks $475M, I'm sure Marvel will be more than happy, as that is better than either Thor 1 or Captain America 1.
and in other news:

Black Widow Movie? Captain Marvel Movie? Jessica Jones Netflix show? Agent Carter on ABC?
Not sure what would be thundering about that though... unless they are going to formally announce Thor 3 and show off some Hemsworth Abs for the ladies.
any guesses?
Is it possible that Lady Sif and the Warriors 3 will get a spin off (so they can claim #BeforeWonderWoman)?
