The upcoming Creed 4 should make the Rocky franchise one of the most profitable of all time. Although Creed 4 does not have an official release date as of the time of writing, Michael B. Jordan is confirmed to star in and direct the highly anticipated sequel. Since the original film was released in 1976, Rocky has become one of the biggest and most longstanding sports franchises in Hollywood history, with 2015’s Creed considered by critics to be the best of the series.
Rocky expanded to four sequels, a reboot movie, and a spinoff trilogy Creed, which has become the modern-day standard for boxing movies. Creed is the only Rocky movie that was placed on Rotten Tomatoes’ list of the 300 greatest movies of all time, which was determined by each film’s combined critic and audience score.

The franchise is only $68 million away from $2 billion total
Once Creed 4 eventually releases in theaters, the Rocky franchise will surely become a $2 billion franchise. Even though Rocky already holds the Guinness World Record for being the Most Successful Sports Movie Franchise ever made, Creed 4 looks to set the bar higher past the coveted $2 billion mark and is only $68 million away from doing so. Considering that the opening weekend box office of Creed 3 was a franchise-high $58.7 million, Creed 4 is sure to surpass $68 million worldwide.
Michael B. Jordan has also demonstrated his abilities as a director with Creed 3, making the promise of Creed 4 even more highly anticipated. Creed 3 has the highest domestic box office total of the Rocky franchise with $156.2 million as well as the largest opening weekend box office. Creed 3 was also given the biggest budget of the franchise at $75 million, which could be increased for the fourth Creed film after Creed 3’s wildly strong box office performance in 2023.
