LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'Creed III' has officially taken over the top spot with a record-breaking box office opening.

'Ant-Man' 3 suffered the franchise's biggest box office loss in its second weekend at the theaters. 'Creed III' paved its way to success with its third edition, which turned out to be the best part of the series yet.

Critics are feeling good!
Unlike critics' harsh reviews on Rotten Tomatoes for 'Ant Man and the Wasp: Quantumania', the feedbacks are quite the opposite for 'Creed III'. Critics are feeling good about the sports drama and have decorated Rotten Tomatoes with their precious reviews. 'Creed III' is the first movie in the series without the iconic Rocky played by Sylvester Stallone. The movie was proof that it didn't actually need the icon to pave the way for its success, with Michael B. Jordan's great direction and Jonathan Majors' outstanding acting, 'Creed III' came out to become a box office success. "Michael B. Jordan makes a confident and selfless debut as an actor-director, sharing space in his ring with a heavyweight like Majors," read a review from a critic at 'CTV's Your Morning' on Rotten Tomatoes. "The first Rocky came out in 1976 and showed no sign of being the kind of movie that would spawn eight follow-ups. But with the inventiveness of Creed III, an old franchise suddenly feels fresh," read another review by a critic from The Atlantic.
While 'Creed III' smashed the box office on its opening weekend, here are some of the movies that hit the box office with their great action-packed performances and making it on the list of top 10 films at the box office. Some of the movies are 'Cocaine Bear' and 'Demon Slayer - To the Swordsmith Village'.
