In a Hollywood upset, the fifth sequel of Rocky, titled Rocky Balboa, has stunned box office critics by pulling in over $22.1 million dollars in it's first four days of release, knocking out Robert De Niro's "The Good Shepherd" and the sports drama "We Are Marshall," which got a ton of pub in the media. Rocky came in third this week at the box office, behind Ben Stiller's "Night at the Museum" and Will Smith's "The Pursuit of Happyness".
Very favorable reviews of Sylvester Stallone's final chapter of the Rocky franchise are said to be the big reason for the box office success. Many have said the sixth release of the series is the best installment of Rocky since the 1976 original.
