The 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 massive critical and commercial success of Creed 3 made the Creed 4 inevitable and is poised to make Rocky a multibillion-dollar franchise.
Creed 4 Will Make Rocky A $2 Billion Movie Franchise
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 sur $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.

The Creed series has also mirrored the Rocky movies in interesting ways, and for Creed 4, there are aspects that should be copied and avoided.
How Much Creed 4 Could Make At The Box Office
It has the momentum to become the highest-grossing Rocky movie ever
Creed 4 should aim to sur The Blind Side's $309 million to become the highest-grossing live-action sports movie of all time.
The Creed trilogy has shown great and consistent growth at the worldwide box office, with each film earning $50-60 million more than the one before it. The health of the Creed franchise at large shows that the fandom has increased with each release, setting the expectations for Creed 4 at an all-time high. Only Rocky IV has ever crossed the $300 million worldwide mark at the worldwide box office, which is exactly where Creed 4 should set its target. It should also aim to sur The Blind Side's $309 million to become the highest-grossing live-action sports movie of all time.
