CREED II is killing it at the French box-office with 832,000 admissions in its first week (not too far from AQUAMAN actually)

I've been listening to the Goransson's score a few times, and the Dragos have beautiful themes.
And even the hip hop soundtrack is kinda fine, with a few good songs (but I have a soft spot for crappy hip hop with deep EDM ^^)

In France, the film's broadcasting in some theaters was very eventful, like in 1985 with Rocky 4 ! Is this the "Drago effect ?

This is at the Rosny 2 UGC-CinéCité, where I think it's to be like that sometimes.
Never seen that in my life (thankfully because I'd hate it)

What ? Jordan needs a stunt double ? lol, time of Rockys, actors didn't need that

[Jox]

Nowadays I don't think Stallone would be allowed to do what he did for the ROCKYs...
Times, regulations and filmmaking have drastically changed (for instance the green screen extras and arena which now makes no sense from a pure production workflow standpoint to do with thousands of extras)...



$115,231,418 domestic gross

CREED II has also now topped the first one worldwide with $175 million.
With France, Germany, and Japan, it shall pass the $200 million mark and beyond I guess...

"This is the last time when HBO broadcasting boxing match," they said before D.Jacobs vs. S.Derevyanchenko fight. The lied.))))

Composer Ludwig Goransson is Oscar-nominated... for BLACK PANTHER.

There's been a lot of comparisons with previoud ROCKY movies, but I must be one of the very few if not the only one who noticed the echoes similarities of CREED II with THE KARATE KID PART III!

Apart from the deleted scenes which could be interesting if it's not "just one", the extras don't seem too in-depth...
