Creed passes the 100 million dollar mark!

By George L. Cook III AfricanAmericanReports.com

Much like the underdog hero that the Ryan Coogler directed film's title refers to, the movie Creed has turned out to be the underdog film that reached blockbuster status.

No, it didn't do Star Wars The Force Awakens type numbers but it did gross 100 million in a very crowded and powerhouse field. The movie has made an estimated $103,456,653 as of 01/03/2016 per Boxoffice.com. The movie grossed 100 million plus while in direct competition with The Hunger Games: Mockinjay Part II, Peanuts, The Good Dinosaur, SPECTRE, and later crossed the 100 million mark in the massive movie presence that is Star Wars The Force Awakens.

The small film had about a 35 million dollar budget and early projections had it making something in the 80 to 85 million range. It obviously meet and exceeded those expectations.

This is quite an accomplishment for director Ryan Coogler and proved that a well made and good film can attract an audience regardless of the competition or color of the cast. The movie could also get an best supporting actor Oscar nomination for Sylvester Stallone thanks to Coogler's direction. Although it's a long shot Tessa Thompson deserves a best supporting actress nomination also.

Don't know if Ryan Coogler or Micheal B. Jordan will be nominated but all involved deserve congratulations.

Let's all give Ryan Coogler and Creed a hand for passing blockbuster status!

It's official! The Human Torch is now black! ( in the movies anyway )

Well it's official. Much to the chagrin of some fan boys and even more racist out there Micheal B. Jordan has been cast as the Human Torch in the upcoming Fantastic Four reboot. To the racist out there I would say get over it and no the Black Panther can't be white...LOL. If you are going to be upset be upset that they are actually making another Fantastic Four movie. I mean except for Jessica Alba does anyone remember anything about the first two movies.

Yes there is the issue of The Human Torch's sister being white but this is damned comic book movie anything is possible.

Congratulations to Michael B. Jordan!
