Box Office Top 10 Highest Grossing Boxing Movies

With faith, 7TH installment in the Rocky series this week, I think it would be a good idea to look back at the most successful film of all time boxing.

Boxing in the movies is hard, very very hard because you want the war to look as realistic as possible, which means contact, but then if you have a contact person is likely to get hurt, this is a big no-no on the film sets (although it happens in All the time). Again you nail boxing but miss almost everything else. Then there is the jewel rare to do it all right, and this was in 1976 with the Rocky star turned performance by Sylvester Stallone, who also wrote the film.

Let's be real here, as you know, when it comes to boxing movie Rocky there then there is something else and of course half the top 10 is made up of those movies. So without further ado here are the top 10 all time highest ever boxing movies in the United States, adjusted for inflation in ticket prices.

10. Rocky Balboa (2006) - $ 87.5 million ($ 70.3 million unadjusted)

Coincidentally this Top 10 begins and ends with the film Rocky. In a little while elusive, for the most part I thought Rocky Balboa Leah Hla last great boxer and a series of aging. Now imagine my surprise at the same time disappointed when I heard they were making each other. Fortunately everything I heard dogma keeps the flag up and it may just be the best Rocky since the original 1976.

9. steel Real Madrid (2011) - $ 91 million ($ 85.5 million)

There's just something inherently wonderful about boxing robots, at least in my opinion. So I had a real hard like the film will be my old 12-year-old self-made if it has the technical expertise and resources to do so. I know it's not a great film, but this does not make it any less fun, and this is the real reason steel is among my favorites of the year. At one point there was talk of a sequel, but after four years of silence and I do not think that happens anymore, although Real Madrid steel turned in nearly $ 300 million worldwide.

8. The Fighter (2010) - $ 97.5 million ($ 93.6 million)

Before casting Jennifer Lawrence starts in all his films, David Russell O. foot boxing movie called The Fighter. It was nominated for seven Academy Awards in 2011 (including best picture and director), and the drama left the house with 2 to support actors Christian Bale and Melissa Leo. It was a great movie, and one of the finest 2010's.

7. Hero (1979) $ --101,100,000 ($ 30.4 million)

I'm sure I've seen almost complete hero once at least when I was really young, but unfortunately I do not remember much except a bloody Jon Voight boxing. On the basis of the years that followed (because finding reliable data for 1979 outside the top 10 is beyond me) and I think that the hero among the top 20 films in 1979 and locally.

6. Million Dollar Baby (2004) $ --130,800,000 ($ 100.5 million)

Here's something, a lot of boxing movies get nominated for Oscars, including best film, but not many of them actually go home with the prize. Clint Eastwood's Million Dollar Baby is among the few countries that have, winning four (two for Eastwood, one for Hilary Swank and Morgan Freeman for one) out of seven nominations.

5. Main Event (1979) $ --142,200,000 ($ 42.8 million)

A little bit of trivia here in 1979 is the year with the most entries in the top 10, the hero, the main event and Rocky II (which you will see below). Why, do you actually do not think Hollywood has become a reactionary, but in the past two years, is not it? Rocky's success in 1976 and generated a large number of spin-off roads and other similar films. What is the main event might go more than others were Barbra Streisand and Ryan O'Neal, oh and it was a romantic comedy with the slogan "the story of a glove." What can I say, he was still 70.

4. Rocky II (1979) - $ 283,000,000 ($ 85200000)

From this point on everything Roque, some good, some great, and generally all the classic. No, Rocky V did not make the top 10 (he was 12) so that we can continue to pretend that never happened. As noted numbers start going up the road with Rocky II, who was 3 the highest ever in the 1979 film Rocky Balboa got his game, and it was worthy sequel to the original. Sylvester Stallone took on directing duties starting from this one only and leave the reins of the faith. Talking about faith, and this is the only one who did not write.

3. Rocky IV (1985) - $ 295100000 ($ 127900000)

Rocky in this one go up against perhaps the most difficult opponent so far, Ivan Drago played by the very young and the imposition of Dolph Lundgren. Because of what is happening to Apollo Creed in Rocky IV, in my opinion this is required viewing before going into the faith.

2. Rocky III (1982) - $ 354600000 ($ 125,000,000)

Rocky III display is also required by the faith because this is where Apollo Creed and Rocky Balboa really become friends. In case you were wondering this is the one which goes up against Mr. T. All in all it was another great installment in the classic franchise.

1. Rocky (1976) - $ 459 million ($ 117.2 million)

Of course, those that started everything will be on the top. I mean really, how many movies can claim to have a statue and this is probably the most visited tourist attraction in a city full of historical monuments such as Philadelphia? Well Rocky can, too and it took home three Oscars, including Best Film, Best Director (John G. Avildsen) in 1977. Although the boxing may not hold up well compared to something more modern like Southpaw, creed, Rocky still classic Hollywood in the true sense.

Movies and other large boxing that did not make the top 10 but are worth mentioning here Raging Bull (1980), Hurricane (1999), Cinderella Man (2005) and Ali (2000). Creed is likely to enter the top 10 either by the end of the year or early next year, unfortunately Rocky Balboa pay them.

What is the favorite boxing movie you have?
