- Creed III is officially the new box office champion, knocking out the competition with a $58 million opening weekend.
- Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania took 2nd place with $12 million, just ahead of Cocaine Bear at #3 with $11 million.
- The anime film Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba: To the Swordsmith Village ($10.1 million) and the religious drama Jesus Revolution ($8.3 million) rounded out the top five.
- What’s the best movie you’ve seen so far in 2023?
- S/O to J Cole Ari Lennox and the rest of Dreamville for the Creed III Soundtrack
- UPDATE…
- Sylvester Stallone has a long-running beef with a man who bought the rights to Rocky Balboa in 1976. While Stallone did get paid, it wasn’t more than he would’ve gotten had he owned the name.
- This is where the Michael B. Jordan-directed “Creed III” enters and detours from the franchise.
- After breaking box office sales records for all sports movies, including Rocky flicks, over the weekend, rumors are swirling that Creed will continue past the third iteration.
- Michael B. Jordan, Jonathan Majors, and Ryan Coogler are likely to form a dynamic force in entertainment. There’s no double, Creed four is definitely coming, but it will continue Adonis’ story and not Balboa’s.
- Do you think Sylvester Stallone should’ve been included in Creed III? What do you think will happen if there is a Creed IV?
