Overview
- The film opened this weekend to about $31 million in North America and roughly $51.1 million worldwide, marking the biggest opening for a live‑action Street Fighter movie.
- Audience response has been stronger than critics with roughly a 79–80% audience Rotten Tomatoes score versus about 40% from critics and a B‑ CinemaScore, signaling soft word‑of‑mouth.
- International receipts were modest, about $20.1 million from 65 overseas markets, making domestic sales the primary driver of the debut.
- With a reported production budget near $82 million, analysts say the picture likely needs long theatrical legs plus streaming, VOD and merchandise revenue to approach an industry estimate of roughly $205 million for clear profitability.
- The weekend’s box office also saw Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim’s documentary You Can See Everything open to about $15 million while 20th Century’s Whalefall underperformed, and next week’s slate of new releases will further test Street Fighter’s staying power.
