Street Fighter film box office performance

Overview

The live-action video game adaptation ‘Street Fighter’ debuted at the top of the UK-Ireland box office, earning £2.3 million from 594 locations. This opening outperformed the £1.6 million start of Mortal Kombat 2 earlier in the year.

In North America, the film opened to $31 million, setting a franchise record, though it fell short of the $70 million opening analysts had anticipated. The film experienced a sharp decline in its second weekend, with reports indicating a drop between 69 percent and 72 percent. This decline saw the film fall from the number one spot to number four at the box office.

Ten days into its theatrical run, the film reached approximately $47.8 million domestically. Produced by Paramount and Legendary, the film carries an $82 million budget. With a current worldwide gross of roughly $79.6 million, analysts suggest the film may face significant financial losses, potentially totaling $50 million or more against its budget, given a projected worldwide total of approximately $110 million.

Recent reports confirm a 72 percent plunge in the United States during the second week, with the film collecting only $8.6 million. While audience sentiment is relatively high at 78 percent, critical reception has been mixed, holding a 41 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes. Analysts note the film may struggle to reach an estimated $205 million required for profitability.
