A major case of false advertising. You see, the band Creed were going to make an autobiography about the history of their band, but due to legal reasons, had to drop themselves out of the entire thing. This occurred late, with the trailers for the movie already having been released. The executives at Warner Bros. had to act quick, so they brought on MGM to change the entire thing with little notice to moviegoers. The reason why Creed grossed so much was because everyone who went to go see it were expecting the band, but instead, saw a deceased fighter's son with the legendary Rocky Balboa as their trainer go out and work to become a new champion. That was MGM's decision. Everyone forgot about the movie originally being about the band, and were wanting sequels featuring this rising fighter instead. So far, we've received two. Great, hm?
