"The Amazing Spider Man 2" was quite a surprise according to Collider. The first movie was a big hit, but the reception was "unenthusiastic." Sony's aggressive marketing campaign which also teased numerous villains may have piqued the interest of many comic book fans. Thus, if we follow the precedent for the top two movies, quantity is great draw.
"Guardians of the Galaxy" is also a mild surprise. It's not a sequel or reboot but it is part of the Marvel franchise. While it also has A-listers on its voice talent list like Vin Diesel and Bradley Cooper, the characters are largely unknown. It is expected to be on the list, but it was not expected to top a film like "Transformers: Age of Extinction."
Speaking of the Michael Bay opus, much of the reaction from the entire buzz surrounding the movie had a "seen it before" vibe. While they are introducing an all-new cast led by Mark Wahlberg, fans already expect the movie to be dominated by CGI and explosions, and they are most probably right.
It's not too say that "Transformers" will bomb. The survey deals with whether the users 'want to see it.' Whether they will or not is another question.
