Amazon MGM Studios, Park Circus, and Fathom Entertainment Announce ROCKY 50 in Theaters for a Knockout Celebration November 7-11

Revered as one of the greatest films of all time, the legendary Rocky is lacing up for its 50-year anniversary November 7-11 with Rocky 50, remastered in 4K from Amazon MGM Studios, Park Circus, and Fathom Entertainment, the leading specialty distributor of content to theatrical partners worldwide. 

Starring three-time Academy Award nominee Sylvester Stallone, Rocky received ten Academy Award nominations and won three, including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Film Editing.  In 2006, the Library of Congress selected Rocky for preservation in the United States National Film Registry for being “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.”

Along with a special, new anniversary logo, Rocky 50 will also feature an exclusive look at the widely-anticipated biographical feature film, I Play Rocky, a Baha Fireside Production from Amazon MGM Studios and directed by Academy Award-winning director Peter Farrelly (Green Book, There’s Something About Mary), alongside an introduction from the I Play Rocky cast.

I Play Rocky tells the true story of Stallone and his unshakable belief that he was not just meant to write Rocky, he was meant to be Rocky Balboa. I Play Rocky is scheduled to open nationwide on November 20, with a limited theatrical release on November 13. Tickets for Rocky 50 will be available online later this fall and at participating theater box offices. 

“The ultimate inspirational sports movie masterpiece, Rocky has a special place in the hearts of American cinematic history. Sylvester Stallone’s remarkable career–mirroring the very underdog spirit that Rocky embodies–is on full display in Rocky 50. Fathom could not be more proud to partner with Amazon MGM Studios and Park Circus to bring Rocky back to the big screen remastered in 4K for a special 50-year celebration,” said Ray Nutt, the chief executive officer of Fathom Entertainment. “Just in time with an exclusive look and welcome prior to the world premiere of I Play Rocky, Rocky 50 will be a must-see theatrical event beginning November 7.”
