The official Rocky social media account unveiled the poster, which features the iconic silhouette of Stallone’s Rocky Balboa standing triumphantly atop the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The original Rocky will return to theatres in a new 4K restoration from November 7 through November 11.
The five-day theatrical event will also include an exclusive featurette tied to I Play Rocky, the upcoming movie about Stallone’s struggle to get the original Rocky made and convince the studio that he had to play the title character himself. The featurette includes behind-the-scenes footage, clips, interviews, and a cast greeting from I Play Rocky. Tickets are already on sale through Fathom Entertainment.
And then there are the collectibles. Select participating theatres will have a limited-edition Rocky 50th Anniversary Staircase Popcorn Bucket, which recreates the famous Philadelphia Museum of Art steps. There will also be a 130-ounce round popcorn tin and a 44-ounce beverage cup. Availability and purchase limits will vary by theatre, so you’ll want to check with your local cinema if you have your eye on one of these.
