Creed III passes a major milestone at the global box office, outgrossing every single Rocky franchise film but one in just three weeks.
Creed III has now outgrossed all but one of the previous films in its franchise. In addition to being the third film in the Creed trilogy, the Michael B. Jordan directorial outing is a spinoff of the Rocky franchise, which began with the Best Picture-winning original in 1976.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Per Collider, the film's record-breaking box office gross has only been getting more impressive in the three weeks since the Creed III premiere. Worldwide, the film's gross has now surpassed $200 million after crossing the $100 million milestone in a single week. This makes it the second highest-grossing film in the entire nine-part franchise, falling just behind 2018's Creed II and its total of $214.2 million.
However, that doesn't diminish the fact that Creed III has blown away all expectations. There are quite a few factors that can be pointed to as likely contributions to the film's success. This includes the presence of three Marvel Cinematic Universe stars and the fact that Creed II is still the highest-grossing film of the franchise so far, setting the stage for a major comeback.
Creed III seems to have triumphed in spite of rather than because of these factors, however. While a film's first sequel frequently outgrosses it, second sequels historically have a much harder time matching that success, as has been borne out by second sequels to hit films including 2000's Scream 3 and Shrek the Third.
