Last week was a little lighter on big releases after Quantumania the previous week, but Cocaine Bear and Jesus Revolution still did pretty well at the box office.

Creed III
What is continuing as one of the biggest movie franchises of all time, Creed III joins the ranks as another film from the Rocky universe, but this spin off has taken on a life of its own.

In this follow up to the 2018 film Creed II, Michael B. Jordan is back as Adonis Creed. He has risen to new heights and must face off against a childhood friend, Damian Anderson, played by Jonathan Majors.

Majors is turning into a big draw recently and looks to have a bright future ahead of him. It will be interesting to see these two talented young actors go toe to toe on screen and in the ring.

Demon Slayer: Kemetsu No Yaiba – To the Swordsmith Village
I'm not the biggest fan of anime in general, but this series has plenty of buzz. There was a similar release last fall that did decently well in theaters, so it's fair to say that we will continue to see these releases periodically going forward as long as American audiences continue to buy tickets.

Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre
If there's one thing you can count on with Guy Ritchie and Jason Statham, it's action and judging from the trailer for Operation Fortune, it won't be lacking in that area.

Statham is joined by an all-star cast including Aubrey Plaza, Cary Elwes, Josh Hartnett, Bugsy Malone, and Hugh Grant in a film about a secret agent who hires a movie star to help him complete a secret mission.
