Street Fighter Movie Suffers Major Box Office Collapse
8 Nov
Summary
- Street Fighter movie dropped out of the domestic Top 10 after three weekends.
- The film's $82 million budget likely requires $205 million to break even.
- Critics gave the movie a 41% score on Rotten Tomatoes, hurting word-of-mouth.
The 2026 live-action adaptation of Street Fighter has seen a dramatic fall from grace at the box office. After debuting on October 16 and topping the charts, the film experienced a sharp 72.1% decrease in ticket sales by its second weekend. Consequently, it was removed from 750 theaters in its third week and has now dropped out of the domestic Top 10 entirely.
This box office performance is concerning given the movie's reported $82 million budget, which likely necessitates a $205 million gross to achieve profitability. As of Saturday morning, its cumulative global earnings were under $95 million ahead of its fourth weekend, with a continued slowdown in ticket sales.
Adding to its struggles, critical reception has been largely negative, with a 41% score on Rotten Tomatoes. While audiences rated it higher at 78%, this hasn't translated into strong word-of-mouth necessary to sustain its theatrical run. The film now faces intense competition from new releases and upcoming major films, making its break-even prospects increasingly unlikely.
