Paramount's Street Fighter movie faces major box office decline

The live-action Street Fighter film, produced by Paramount and Legendary, has experienced a significant drop in box office performance during its second weekend. After debuting at number one with a $31 million domestic opening and approximately $51.1 million worldwide, the film saw a 72% plunge in the United States, collecting only $8.6 million in its second week.

With a production budget of roughly $82 million, the film's worldwide gross currently stands at approximately $79.6 million. Analysts suggest the film may struggle to reach the estimated $205 million required for profitability, with some projections indicating a potential loss of over $50 million for Paramount.

Critical reception has been mixed, with a 41% score on Rotten Tomatoes, though audience sentiment remains higher at 78%. The film's decline has allowed other titles, including the Elizabeth Holmes documentary 'You Can See Everything' and Laika's 'Wildwood', to gain traction in the charts.
