Creed III sets record for biggest-ever box office opening for a sports movie

Creed III set a box office record for sports movies this weekend.

Creed III punched its way into record books this weekend at the box office.

With an estimated $58.6 million box office tally, the Michael B. Jordan-directed sequel notched the biggest-ever opening weekend for a sports movie in film history.

It’s a massive win for the box office and for Creed III, which earned stellar reviews and also gave the Rocky/Creed franchise its best-ever weekend at the multiplex.

Even without longtime franchise star Sylvester Stallone appearing in this latest installment, Creed III is setting itself up to be one of the real financial successes of 2023 so far. It’s clearly going the distance in theaters right now.

What’s also fascinating is that Creed III co-star Jonathan Majors is making bank with his Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania leading the box office the past two weeks ahead of the latest Creed film.

Majors is having quite a moment.

For those who haven’t hopped into the ring with Creed III yet, our Caroline Darney says the film is “a worthy entry into the series.”

Creed III is playing nationwide in theaters now.

7 sports movies people wrongly think are rom-coms

Stop the madness, people.

We’ve all been there: It’s movie night with your friends or significant other and you’re in the mood for a classic sports flick. The problem is some of the most exceptional athletic feats ever captured on film have been carelessly categorized into another genre: The Rom-Com.

Listen, there’s nothing wrong with romantic comedies. I love the Holy Chrises — Evans, Hemsworth and Pine — and I LIVE for those celebrity-loaded movies where they juggle 12 different storylines only to tie it all together at the end. But it’s time for some of the best sports films of our generation to finally get the credit they deserve.

Top 10 sports movies to watch while social distancing

Looking at the top 10 sports movies to be watching while social distancing amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

For most of us, part of social distancing means catching up with whatever is in our streaming ques or on our DVR rosters. So, let’s wind our way through a countdown of the top 10 sports movies to watch while social distancing amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

10. Happy Gilmore

The sheer sports versatility of this 1996 Adam Sandler movie puts it on the list. Sandler is a hockey player who is reluctantly proficient in socially distancing golf balls at tremendous clubhead speeds. He trains in a batting cage, and the Sandler-Bob Barker donnybrook is some of the finest heavyweight boxing ever filmed. Something for everyone.

9. Field of Dreams

The choice to forgo sports in a health-care crisis is embodied by one Archibald “Moonlight” Graham in this 1989 classic. This entry is also a reminder of a bet-able regular-season game (Yankees vs. White Sox) being slated to take place at the film site — Dyersville, Iowa — on Aug. 13. (Tag that one as New York -117 until we learn more about the pitching matchup.) Also, proper distancing is evident in a key game of catch. And gloves are even worn.
