Street Fighter Wins the Weekend Box Office in a Wide Release
Street Fighter claimed the top spot on the weekend box office chart with the widest release of the weekend. The film opened with $13 million on Friday and held to about $31 million for the three days, landing near the middle of pre-release tracking that ranged from $25 million to $35 million.
The result places Street Fighter slightly behind Verity’s $32.6 million No. 1 opening earlier this month and ahead of Other Mommy’s $27.5 million No. 1 debut two weekends ago. With a reported production budget of about $82 million, Street Fighter’s longer run, especially overseas, will decide whether the opening turns into a profitable franchise launch.
The film is also the first release under Legendary Pictures’ three-year global distribution deal with Paramount Pictures, which gives its performance added weight for both studios’ future slates.
Street Fighter Movie Cast and Story
The Street Fighter movie is directed by Kitao Sakurai, who previously made Bad Trip, and produced by Legendary Pictures in collaboration with Capcom, the video game series’ creator. Set in 1993, the year Street Fighter II became an arcade sensation, the film follows estranged fighters Ryu and Ken Masters, who are recruited by Chun-Li to compete in the World Warrior Tournament.
Andrew Koji plays Ryu, Noah Centineo plays Ken Masters, and Callina Liang plays Chun-Li. The ensemble includes Jason Momoa as Blanka, Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson as Balrog, Joe “Roman Reigns” Anoa’i as Akuma, David Dastmalchian as M. Bison, and Cody Rhodes as Guile. The film was shot for IMAX and is the third live-action feature based on the Street Fighter games.
You Can See Everything Rewrites the Documentary Box Office Record Book
You Can See Everything, from directors Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, delivered the weekend’s most notable box office result. The A24 release earned more than $15 million from fewer than 900 theaters, a per-theater average of roughly $18,000 and the biggest documentary opening since 2004. A24 described it as one of the largest limited-release openings of the century.
The result is notable for its scale. The film runs nearly three hours, opened in limited release, and beat its own tracking by a wide margin after selling out more than 2,000 screenings. It follows Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes in the weeks before she began a prison sentence in 2023, a project the filmmakers kept secret for more than three years before a surprise premiere at the Telluride Film Festival.
For the business of nonfiction film, the opening suggests that a documentary with a distinctive filmmaking voice and event-style marketing can compete on a crowded weekend with studio franchises.
Box Office Results Show Mixed Fortunes for New Releases
Not every new release found an audience. Whalefall opened fourth with about $8 million against a reported production budget of about $60 million. Sense and Sensibility rounded out the top five with about $7.2 million.
Holdovers continued to build. Other Mommy reached about $44.9 million after 10 days, Verity climbed to about $66.1 million after 17 days, and Resident Evil passed $148 million domestically. Weekend figures are studio estimates and may shift slightly when final numbers are reported.
