The Rocky franchise apparently doesn’t need its founder Sylvester Stallone at all. Creed III continues the spin-off series starring Michael B. Jordan. In the first two parts, the action actor was still there as a mentor. In Creed III, the character was missing for the first time in the history of the series. The film and his Revenue at the box office didn’t hurt.
Without Sylvester Stallone: These are the earnings of Creed 3
As Variety reports, the boxing film surpassed even the high expectations on its first weekend. There was talk of a maximum of 40 million US dollars. Michael B. Jordan’s duel with Jonathan Majors managed $58.7 million – a record for the series. (Read more about the background here: That’s why Sylvester Stallone is not in Creed 3)
That’s how much Creed 1 and 2 brought in on their first weekends
A small fly in the ointment: Creed 3 is about 75 million US dollars most expensive movie the series. And that by far. The predecessor only cost 50 million. However, since the film also did well internationally and has already exceeded 100 million US dollars worldwide, this point is bearable.
Now Creed 3 is heading for the all-time highs in the franchise:
What is Creed 3 about?
Adonis “Donnie” Creed (Michael B. Jordan) is at a good point in his life: his boxing career is thriving, as is his family life with Tessa Thompson as Bianca. (Get the huge Rocky box with all the films now *)
But then Damian “Dame” Anderson (Jonathan Majors) enters the scene. Growing up, he and Adonis were close friends and Damian was considered a boxing genius. Then he went to prison for a very long time and the two lost contact. Now he’s back and wants to prove himself – in the ring. In this way, former friends become bitter opponents.
Creed 3 has also been in cinemas in Germany since the beginning of March. Unlike in the USA, the series is still called “Rocky’s Legacy”.
