Fifty years after Rocky (1976) 
first punched its way into our hearts, the Italian Stallion is back on the big screen for a FREE knockout anniversary celebration at the historic Saban Theatre movie palace.
Step into the ring with cinema’s ultimate underdog for a night of big dreams, bigger punches, and enough heart to go fifteen rounds. We’re pulling out all the stops with free food, giveaways, photo moments worthy of a champion, and a few surprises that’ll have you feeling like you just ran up the Philadelphia Museum of Art steps. Bring your corner crew, channel your inner Balboa, and get ready to fly high now.
I Play Rocky (2026) , an Amazon MGM Studios film, is in theaters starting November 6th. The film follows the inspiring journey of young Sylvester Stallone from struggling actor to screenwriter and star of “Rocky,” the Best Picture winner at the 1976 Academy Awards. Watch the trailer HERE. Presented by Amazon MGM Studios and Prime Video.
