"Creed III" (MGM)
MGM’s “Creed III” has come out of the corner swinging, as Saturday box office estimates have the boxing film earning $22 million on opening day and an estimated $50 million opening weekend from 4,007 theaters, beating box office projections for a $37-40 million launch.
With this threequel, MGM is placing a bet on star Michael B. Jordan, who is making his directorial debut while lacing up the gloves once again as Adonis Creed. Despite being the first film in the series without Sylvester Stallone as Rocky Balboa, “Creed III” is on its way to the best opening weekend in the series, topping the $35.5 million 3-day opening of “Creed II” during Thanksgiving weekend 2018.
