At the end of its opening weekend, the film exceeded its global expectations and had earned a whopping total of $289.3 million from international and domestic audiences and just recently passed $835 million worldwide ahead of its digital release. 

On the filmmaking side, Gunn is next writing and directing the feature 鈥淪uperman: Legacy,鈥 which will be released in theaters on July 2025. 

In 2021, Gunn brought his trademark sensibilities to the Warner Bros. feature film 鈥淭he Suicide Squad鈥, which he wrote and directed.

Vol. 1 went on to become certified Platinum status; Vol. 2 finished 2017 as the country’s eighth highest-selling album with 600,000 copies sold, and has been certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America.

He also wrote, with Lloyd Kaufman, the non-fiction book “All I Need to Know About Filmmaking I Learned from the Toxic Avenger,” currently in its fifth printing.  

In 2004, Gunn wrote the live action 鈥淪cooby-Doo鈥 movie which grossed over $300 million worldwide.鈥疕e became the first screenwriter in history to write back-to-back hits standing at #1 at the weekend box office, with the critically-acclaimed and re-imagined 鈥淒awn of the Dead鈥 on March 19, 2004 and 鈥淪cooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed鈥 on March 26, 2004.
