The 'Creed' franchise has shown it can still draw a crowd without Rocky, with the third instalment - the first not to feature Sylvester Stallone - taking the top spot at the Australian box office on the weekend and surpassing $US100 million worldwide.
'Avatar: The Way of Water' has proved the bumper summer hit exhibitors hoped it would be. Some four weekends in, the James Cameron sequel - with a cume of $66.7 million - is already the the sixth highest grossing film to ever be released in Australia.
