It would be a “downbeat Western,” he tells his partner Lee (Sam Rockwell), who laughs: “There’s no way I’m seeing that Western.” Sam Rockwell, left, and John Malkovich in a scene from 'Wild Horse Nine.'

It’s been almost exactly 50 years since Sylvester Stallone’s breakthrough boxing classic first arrived in theaters. You need hardly more than a few Philadelphia steps or a holler of “Adrian” to summon its still-ubiquitous cultural presence. Anthony Ippolito as Sylvester Stallone in a scene from 'I Play Rocky.'

Ticket sales were led by the Elizabeth Holmes documentary You Can See Everything and the DC Studios movie Clayface, and aren’t likely to surpass $56 million, according to studio estimates on Sunday.
