Bogdanovic and Jovanovic Attend I Play Rocky Screening

A press release from distributor Blitz Film, which reached the newsroom on Friday, November 13, 2026, at 12:20 p.m., says taekwondo champion Tijana Bogdanovic and boxer Dragana Jovanovic were among the guests at a special screening of I Play Rocky. The screening was held at the Concept Cinema by CineStar in Ada Mall, as part of the CinePremiere event.

The release was sent by the distributor’s PR team and is signed by Mirjana Todoric Kavaja. The photographs from the event are credited to the agency VizArt Media. The release does not give the date of the screening itself.

Who attended the I Play Rocky screening?

Besides Bogdanovic and Jovanovic, the release names these guests:

• Survivor contestant Stefan Nevistic
• Aca Seltik
• Danijela and Stefan Buzurovic
• Mira Lekic

What happened before the film started?

Before the screening began, the brass quintet BRASSOLINI performed the Rocky theme live. In the photographs from the event, the musicians are playing brass instruments, with a wall of film posters and a red punching bag behind them.

According to the release, guests received a welcome drink and protein products. A punching bag and boxing gloves were also set up at the event.

What is the film behind the event about?

I Play Rocky has been showing in cinemas across Serbia since November 12, distributed by Blitz Film. We reported on the start of its run on November 10.

The film is directed by Peter Farrelly, who also made Green Book. Young Sylvester Stallone is played by Anthony Ippolito, Sasa Cak by Ana Sofia Rob, and Stallone’s father Frank by Matt Dillon.

The film follows the period before fame. According to the description on the CineStar cinema website, Stallone was an unknown actor who kept failing to land a part, so he wrote a screenplay himself about an underdog boxer, Rocky Balboa. He insisted on playing the lead himself, even though he was turned down at every step. The same description notes that fifty years have passed since the first Rocky became a hit.

What figures does the distributor cite?

The release says Rocky was shot in 28 days on a budget of about 1 million dollars, and that it won three Oscars, including Best Picture. The description on the CineStar website speaks of nominations for three Oscars, so the two versions do not match. We are reporting what the distributor’s release says, and noting that the difference is visible in the two available texts.
