Creed III earned $5.45 million on Thursday
Actor Michael B Jordan has high expectations from Creed III, the third installment of the Creed series. The movie earned $5.45 million in Thursday’s previews. It is expected to earn between $36 million to $40 million over the weekend. The original Creed debuted with $29.6 million in 2015 and Creed II earned $35.5 million in 2018. The third movie is expected to earn more than the first two movies.
Michael B Jordan played the role of Adonis Creed
The actor plays the role of Adonis Creed, son of Apollo Creed. Apollo Creed was the main antagonist in Rocky and Rocky II as he goes against Rocky (Sylvester Stallone). In the first Creed movie, Adonis seeks mentorship from the legendary Rocky Balboa. In this movie, Adonis goes up against his childhood friend, Damien (Jonathan Majors). The cast also includes Tessa Thompson, Phylicia Rashad, Wood Harris, and Florian Munteanu. The movie is currently competing against Marvel’s Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. However, it seems like Creed III will easily overshadow Marvel’s latest project as it has received much better reviews from the audience.
