When the original "Creed" hit theaters in November 2015, it was met with uncertainty over its box office prospects. When 2018's "Creed II" stepped into the box office ring three years later, however, all questions had been answered. Not only was the original movie a big hit, its lead performers, Michael B. Jordan and Tessa Thompson, had headlined Marvel blockbusters in the intervening years. The "Creed" franchise was now the titan instead of the underdog.
Given this increase in profile, it's no surprise "Creed II" was a knockout box office hit. In its first five days of release, the film shattered all expectations with a $55.8 million five-day domestic opening (via Forbes). These are the kind of debut figures usually reserved for Disney cartoons over this holiday frame, not sports dramas. But the success of the first "Creed," Jordan and Thompson's increased star power, and this film's connection to "Rocky IV" through Dolph Lundgren's return, got people to come out in droves. Though it wasn't quite as leggy as its predecessor, "Creed II" still exceeded the first film's North American haul by grossing a robust $115.7 million. It didn't just live up to its increased expectations — it blew past them.
