What happened
Paramount and Legendary's PG-13 Street Fighter grossed $30,775,377 from 3,575 North American theaters over Oct. 16–18, about $8,608 per theater, according to Box Office Mojo's Monday actuals. That is just under Sunday's $31 million studio estimate. Daily actuals were $12.95 million Friday (including Thursday previews), $10.81 million Saturday and $7.01 million Sunday. The film earned a B- CinemaScore.
Why it matters
Street Fighter is the first Legendary release under its Paramount distribution deal and cost a net $82 million, co-financed by Legendary and Capcom. The Hollywood Reporter said Paramount had expected a debut in the mid-$30 millions, so the start lands on the lighter side. THR put its global opening at about $50 million. Deadline said the start is about 19% below Mortal Kombat II's $38.5 million in May.
What’s next
This weekend's openers include Clayface, Wildwood, Klara and the Sun, Ali G: Who Iz I? and Wicker, per THR, along with A24's wider release of You Can See Everything. Friday estimates for that weekend arrive Saturday; actuals follow Monday, Oct. 26.
More context
Holmes documentary breaks out: A24's You Can See Everything, Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim's three-hour documentary about Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes, took in $15,601,418 at only 855 theaters, about $18,247 per theater, per the actuals. That beat Sunday's roughly $15 million estimate. Deadline and THR called it the biggest documentary debut since Fahrenheit 9/11 opened to $23.9 million in 2004, and A24 plans to go wider this weekend, Deadline said.
Rest of the chart (actuals): Universal's Other Mommy fell 70.5% to $8.20 million in its second weekend for $44.7 million total. 20th Century Studios' Whalefall opened to $7.84 million from 3,065 theaters, and Focus Features' Sense and Sensibility to $7.20 million. Amazon MGM's Verity added $6.05 million ($65.9 million total), and Sony's Resident Evil $5.50 million ($148.5 million total).
Estimates vs. actuals: Street Fighter came in about $225,000 under its Sunday estimate. You Can See Everything came in about $600,000 over. Whalefall finished about $160,000 under its $8 million estimate, Sense and Sensibility about $50,000 under its $7.25 million estimate, and Other Mommy about $145,000 under its $8.35 million estimate. Sunday figures are from Deadline; actuals are from Box Office Mojo.
How Street Fighter stacks up: Its B- CinemaScore trails Mortal Kombat II's B and 2021's Mortal Kombat's B+, and matches the grade audiences gave the 1994 Street Fighter, per TheWrap and THR. That Jean-Claude Van Damme film earned $33.4 million domestically over its whole run, unadjusted for inflation.
