CREED opened last Wednesday before Thanksgiving & the weekend. Over 5 days, it grossed $42.6 million at the U.S. box office. I saw it & it's a new ROCKY for this generation 2015. It was inspiring plus it had Sly Stallone taking a back seat as a boxing coach. He was very good & some people are saying he deserves a supporting actor Oscar nomination. It is his best acting work in years.
Mike Medavoy was head of production at United Artist's back in the 1970's. He helped create ROCKY which Stallone wrote & starred in. Mike talks about CREED & how ROCKY was produced. Great insider stuff.
