“Creed III” is causing fights in theaters during screenings in France and Germany. Brawls erupted during a dozen separate incidents in France over the weekend, causing some theaters to pull the flick.

Some officials are afraid the viral footage of the fights could be part of a dangerous new social media challenge but others pointed out that these were isolated incidents out of more than 10,000 screenings.

Looper.com said in the French city of Saint Etienne, a security guard received a head injury after bottles began to be thrown at a March 4 screening. A cinema in the town of Thionville was evacuated after a fight the same day. Several other theaters in France faced their own fair share of issues during "Creed III's" opening weekend.

No word on fights here in the USA, but I am sure they are happening. Maybe just too much testosterone flowing?

29 Movies That Turn 40 in 2023

When looking at the movies that turn 40 in 2023, one thing is very clear: 1983 kind of ruled!

In 1983, a holiday classic was born with A Christmas Story. Meanwhile, a star was born in Tom Cruise thanks to Risky Business. Women started cutting up their sweatshirts thanks to Flashdance, and a new sex symbol was born thanks to that gold bikini in Return of the Jedi. We also said hello to a little friend (Scarface), gave our daughter the shot (Terms of Endearment) and were gagged with a spoon (Valley Girl.)

Here are 29 movies that turn 40 in 2023. Even the biggest cynic would agree that 1983 at the movies was totally tubular.
