Creed, which is basically a Rocky sequel, made its debut on the box office chart of 15th January 2016 where it entered at number 3.
The film was critically acclaimed on its release but didn't manage to hit the high notes of the Rocky series and only spent 4 weeks on the box office.
The film managed a fairly decent £5.6 million over its run but it is low for a Rocky inspired movie which has many fans in the UK.
It's actually hard comparing this to previous Rocky films due to price inflation in cinema tickets but the last Rocky film, Rocky Balboa, spent a similar number of weeks on the chart but took £8 million.
The Hateful Eight falls from the top spot where it debuted last week to number 2 this week.
Also new this week are: The Danish Girl at number 4 and I Am Wrath, a John Travolta movie, at number 6.
