Street Fighter Reboot Eyes Record Box Office Debut
3 Oct
Summary
- Reboot film projected to have franchise's best opening weekend.
- Needs $100 million globally to become highest-grossing film.
- Stars Jason Momoa, Noah Centineo, and Vidyut Jamwal.
The new Street Fighter movie reboot is set to achieve the franchise's most successful debut weekend, according to early box office projections. This anticipated action-comedy aims to become the highest-grossing film in the series, requiring only $100 million worldwide to surpass the original 1994 film.
Initial estimates place the opening weekend box office between $30 million and $40 million in North America alone. This strong start will significantly contribute to its goal of reaching the $100 million global milestone. The film's success is crucial for the franchise's future.
This upcoming installment features a plot where estranged fighters Ryu and Ken Masters are recruited by Chun-Li for a World Warrior Tournament. The cast includes Jason Momoa, Noah Centineo, and Vidyut Jamwal, with the movie scheduled for release on October 16.
The previous live-action films include the 1994 Street Fighter, which grossed $99.4 million worldwide, and Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li in 2009, which earned only $12.8 million. The 2026 reboot has the opportunity to eclipse these figures.
