Street Fighter box office figures put Paramount’s live-action reboot at No. 1 in North America with $30.8 million over its October 16-18 opening weekend, according to Box Office Mojo and The Numbers. A24’s Elizabeth Holmes documentary You Can See Everything opened second with $15.6 million from just 855 theaters. The Numbers lists Street Fighter at $52.8 million worldwide through Monday, October 19, against a reported $82 million production budget.
Key points
- Street Fighter earned $30,775,377 from 3,575 theaters in its first weekend, far above the 1994 film’s $9.5 million domestic opening recorded by The Numbers.
- Through Monday, The Numbers reports $32.7 million domestic and $20.1 million international, for $52.8 million worldwide.
- You Can See Everything, directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, took $15,601,418 from 855 theaters.
How the weekend chart looks
Box Office Mojo’s chart for the October 16-18 weekend lists the top five as Street Fighter (Paramount Pictures, $30,775,377), You Can See Everything (A24, $15,601,418), Other Mommy (Universal Pictures, $8,204,680), Whalefall (20th Century Studios, $7,837,153) and Sense and Sensibility (Focus Features, $7,203,465). The Numbers shows Other Mommy down 70% in its second weekend, with a running total of $44.7 million, and Verity sixth with $6.0 million in its third weekend.
The Numbers’ daily figures show Street Fighter taking $12.95 million on Friday, $10.81 million on Saturday and $7.01 million on Sunday, then $1.89 million on Monday. Each day was lower than the one before, which suggests demand was concentrated among fans who turned up early.
About the film
The film is produced by Legendary Pictures and Capcom and distributed by Paramount, ABC News reported when the cast was announced. Kitao Sakurai directs. Set in 1993, the story follows Ken Masters (Noah Centineo) and Ryu (Andrew Koji), who are recruited by Chun-Li (Callina Liang) for a new World Warrior Tournament before a conspiracy turns them against each other. The wider cast includes Jason Momoa, Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, Joe “Roman Reigns” Anoa’i, Cody Rhodes, David Dastmalchian and Vidyut Jammwal. The Hollywood Reporter India said Jammwal plays Dhalsim and that the film was slated to open in India on October 16, the same day as its international release. The Numbers lists a PG-13 rating and a running time of 120 minutes.
The 1994 Street Fighter is a useful yardstick. The Numbers records that film finishing with $33.4 million domestically and $99.4 million worldwide on a $35 million budget. Without adjusting for inflation, the new film has already nearly matched the earlier domestic total, but it has a long way to go to reach the old worldwide figure.
You Can See Everything follows former Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes in the 34 days before she reported to prison, NBC Bay Area reported. The nearly three-hour film had its first screening at the Telluride Film Festival on September 6 before playing the New York Film Festival. Its $15.6 million came from a much smaller theater count than the other leading films.
What has not been confirmed
Weekend and international figures can be revised as studios report final numbers, and the international total covers only the markets reported so far. This report did not find official India box office figures for Street Fighter, so none are given here. The $82 million budget does not include marketing costs, so the opening weekend does not show whether the film will be profitable. No streaming or digital release date has been announced in the sources checked, and no sequel has been confirmed.
Why it matters
Studios are watching video game adaptations closely, and Street Fighter’s start is the first test of Paramount’s distribution deal with Legendary. The second-place finish for a documentary playing in fewer than 900 theaters shows that a much-discussed non-fiction film can still draw audiences to cinemas. For Indian viewers, Jammwal’s role as Dhalsim gives the release a local angle. For more screen coverage, read our report on the Norm Macdonald documentary on Netflix.
