The Hollywood adaptation of the popular video game, Street Fighter, has launched to a robust box office performance, earning $13 million on its opening day. This achievement marks a historic moment for the franchise, setting a new record for its opening day in the North American market. The film's impressive first-day earnings have already surpassed the total opening weekend revenue of any prior Street Fighter movie.
Paramount Pictures released the ensemble film on October 16. Projections indicate a strong debut weekend, with the movie expected to bring in between $30 million and $35 million domestically. This anticipated total would position Street Fighter as the second-highest opening for a fighting game adaptation in North America, trailing only Mortal Kombat II. Despite this box office success, the film received a CinemaScore of 'B-', suggesting that audience reception may be mixed.
The plot follows the reunion of estranged fighters Ryu and Ken Masters, who are recruited by Chun-Li for the World Warrior Tournament. They soon uncover a conspiracy that forces them into conflict with each other and their past demons.
