Creed III got fans so hyped a fight breaks out at cinema screening

Some fans weren't happy with the level of fighting in the new Creed film and took matters into their own hands in a cinema screening.

But there were some unsavoury scenes at a recent screening in France, where two viewers started throwing hands as the credits played.

It all kicked off in the aisles, with fans stunned as they watched on. Some tried to get involved and defuse the fight, the cause of which is said to be related to one of the individuals committing the cinema sin and spending a lot of time on their phone.

The clip went viral on social media, racking up millions of views online. It was shared with the caption, "CREED III is so hype that it has people breaking out in fights as the credits roll."
