Box office tracker EntTelligence estimates that translates into about 5 million ticket buyers.

Went and saw it. Despite “Rocky” being a little bro to the Galaxy Quest Rock Monster and kinda being cheesy with the “coos” and decidedly un-alien thought processes that were very human…

It was a relief to watch and enjoy.

Not dark, not apocalyptic like supervillains bent on world destruction, not yet another rehash of a franchise or live action reboot.

I was glad to see it. A decent, feel-good original movie.
