MGM’s bet on Michael B. Jordan has paid off, as “Creed III” has knocked out box office expectations with a $58.6 million opening weekend from 4,007 theaters.

MGM also claims that this is the highest opening weekend for any sports film in box office history, beating the $55.6 million opening of the 2011 “Karate Kid” remake starring Jackie Chan and Jaden Smith.
