Strong reviews helped 'Creed III,' which is currently sitting at an 87% on Rotten Tomatoes, while audiences gave it an A- CinemaScore.
"Creed III" punched above its weight at the domestic box office in its first weekend in theaters. The MGM release knocked"Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania" out of first place and far surpassed both industry expectations and the opening weekends of the first two movies in the franchise.
"This is beyond all of our expectations. And we knew that we had something special — we tested the movie and it tested great, but the public responded so resoundingly to it," said Erik Lomis, MGM's head of distribution."Everything went right here starting with the movie itself ... It was just up to us not to break it when they gave it to us and we didn't."
It's a big moment for Amazon, who acquired MGM for $8.5 billion last year, and could have simply released"Creed III" on its streaming service with a limited theatrical run. But they chose theatrical, and it paid off. "Ant-Man 3" slipped to a distant second in its third weekend in theaters with $12.5 million from North America and $22 million internationally. The Marvel and Disney film's global cume now stands at $419.5 million.
Lionsgate and Kingdom Story Company's"Jesus Revolution" rounded out the top five with $8.7 million. The film starring Kelsey Grammer as a pastor in the 1970s has made $30.5 million in two weekends in theaters against a $15 million production budget.
