I don't know how many of you know or follow the Joe Rogan podcast. But his guest today was a fellow comedian and friend Joey Diaz. They randomly started talking about the Rocky movies and Creed II and Dolph came up and Joe gave him a pretty cool shoutout. Talking about him being a badass Karate champ and how he sent Stallone to the hospital back during filming of Rocky IV.

It would be a dream of mine to see Dolph on his podcast someday.... I know it's a stretch but it was really cool to hear them give Dolph props. It was about 5-6 minutes discussing him.

Predictions from September

Opening Weekend Range: $20 – 25 million

The film’s first teaser has generated solid buzz online since debuting nearly two months, while the most recent trailer released this week has stirred up positive conversation once again. While we’re expecting some diminished returns from 2015’s predecessor, the return of Michael B. Jordan and Sylvester Stallone in a natural sequel that again touches on the franchise’s nostalgic roots should play to this follow-up’s hopes of counter-programming against the holiday season’s tentpole films.

‘Ralph Breaks The Internet’ Tracking To $65M; ‘Creed II’ Eyeing $48M, ‘Robin Hood’ $17M In Thanksgiving B.O. Showdown
https://deadline.com/2018/11/ralph-brea ... 202493906/

Four films will battle this Thanksgiving, but two will rule a majority of the 5-day stretch’s ticket sales with Disney’s Ralph Breaks the Internet hitting tracking today with a $65M Wednesday through Sunday haul while MGM’s Creed II will punch $48M over the same time period.

(...)

Creed II is through the roof with African Americans, Hispanics followed by Caucasians. Males are definitely there, but it’s showing itself to be an event pic across all quads. Creed II‘s anticipated haul is poised to best the Ryan Coogler-directed 2015 installment which grossed $42.1M over the Thanksgiving period. In the history of the Rocky canon, the boxing champ movies —Rocky, Rocky IV and V have played the late November side of the calendar. This time the son of Apollo Creed, Adonis (Michael B. Jordan), fights against Viktor Drago, the son of former Rocky Balboa foe Ivan Drago.

Jox anyway we can forge this Dolph awesomeness that will be Creed 2 and Aquaman into a spot on the new Game of Thrones series?
