Every week, Ultimate Movie Year looks back into the past to highlight the best film that came out that weekend.

"Creed"
Released Nov. 25, 2015
Directed by Ryan Coogler

There must have been something in the water in 2015, as that year was marked by the revival of several long-dormant franchises retooled for a new generation. Some faired well ("Mad Max: Fury Road," "Star Wars: The Force Awakens"), others less so ("Jurassic World," "Fantastic Four").

And then there was "Creed."
