Age of Extinction was the biggest movie in China in history but GotG has already blown it away domestically. It was also one of the worst reviewed movies of the year with only 18% on Rottentomato while GotG has a 92% rating.

It as well as Hunger Games and The Hobbit are pre-established franchises. GotG was a brand new entity yet it beat The Winter Soldier and X-Men as well.
