Is Rocky Poised to KO the Competition?
Sylvester Stallone's sixth and final trip to the ring,
Rocky Balboa, seems to be in fighting form, based on its first-day haul: Opening Wednesday, the film took in $6.2 million across 2,752 screens. Boosting its prospects,
Variety notes, is the fact that
Balboa is tracking very well with males, and also piquing the interest of females over 25. Myself, I really enjoyed the film - cheered, cried, everything - as I detailed in a recent
Trivial Matt'rs posting.
This weekend's other contenders:
Night at the Museum,
We Are Marshall and
The Good Shepherd, reviews of which can be found
