Michael B. Jordan‘s directorial debut for Creed III is shaping up to be a box office hit.
The film, which sees Jordan direct and reprise his role as the titular Adonis “Donnie” Creed, and star opposite Jonathan Majors for the third trilogy film, follows Creed as he navigates family and a figure from his past. Creed III is projected to be the best film of the trilogy, with an expected debut between $36 million to $40 million USD on opening weekend. The film is slated to knockdown Marvel‘s tiniest Avenger, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.
Many critics and audiences have embraced the third Creed installment as the film has already scored stellar reviews. Majors will likely be in two box-office topping films after Creed releases. Creed III is the first film in the extended Rocky franchise to not feature Sylvester Stallone. This weekend will also see a major action-comedy release from Guy Ritchie. Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre is expected to bring in $5 million from 2,150 domestic theaters and stars Jason Statham as a super spy who has to attempt to stop a billionaire arms broker, played by Hugh Grant, from wreaking havoc on the world.
Creed III hits theaters on March 3.
