Street Fighter Takes the Weekend With $31M and $51M Worldwide

By Kinolime Editorial Team // Verified Human Journalist Review

Summary

Paramount's $82 million video game adaptation opened at the low end of expectations as a $103.8 million weekend ran 42% ahead of the same frame last year.
"Paramount's Street Fighter opened at No. 1 with an estimated $31 million from 3,575 North American theaters, including $4 million in Thursday previews, according to Sunday estimates reported by Boxoffice Pro, JoBlo and MyNewsLA. Boxoffice Pro reported $20.1 million from 65 overseas markets for a $51.1 million global start, with IMAX contributing $5.4 million, or 18% of the domestic total. TheWrap and 411Mania put the reported net budget at $82 million in a co-production with Legendary and Capcom, while Boxoffice Pro described the cost only as reportedly south of $100 million. Audiences gave the film a B- CinemaScore against a 41% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes (TheWrap listed 40%). JoBlo noted the opening trails the $38.5 million start of Mortal Kombat II earlier this year, and 411Mania pointed out that pre-weekend tracking a week earlier had projected $25 million to $30 million.
A24's You Can See Everything, the Lance Oppenheim and Nathan Fielder film about Elizabeth Holmes, opened at No. 2 with $15 million from just 855 locations, a $17,544 average and more than 2,000 sold-out shows, per Boxoffice Pro. MyNewsLA and 411Mania reported it as the second-best documentary opening on record behind Fahrenheit 9/11's $23.9 million in 2004. Deadline reported on October 16 that the film's production budget was under $10 million.
Universal's Other Mommy fell 70% in its second weekend to $8.35 million for a $44.85 million domestic total, per JoBlo and Boxoffice Pro. Focus Features' Sense and Sensibility opened fifth with $7.25 million from 2,545 theaters and an A- CinemaScore; 411Mania put its reported budget at $25 million and its worldwide total at $18.5 million. Further down, Warner Bros. Clockwork's NC-17 director's cut restoration of Ken Russell's The Devils grossed a reported $1.64 million from 350 screens, according to Boxoffice Pro. The overall weekend totaled an estimated $103.8 million, up 19.7% from last weekend and 41.9% from the same frame in 2025, with the year-to-date running 20% ahead of 2025 at $8.21 billion, per Boxoffice Pro and MyNewsLA, which cited Rentrak."

The Kinolime Lens
"Street Fighter did roughly what an $82 million game adaptation with mixed reviews was always likely to do. A $31 million opening with a B- CinemaScore is serviceable, and the $20 million overseas start matters more than usual because fighting games have historically played bigger internationally than in North America. The real question for Paramount is the second weekend, since a B- grade on a fan-driven title tends to signal a front-loaded run. Mortal Kombat II opening higher and the 1994 film earning the same grade are both reminders that this genre has a ceiling unless a film crosses over to general audiences. On that score, a 41% critics rating did nothing to help.
The more interesting number on the chart is $17,544. That is the per-location average You Can See Everything posted from 855 screens, which is more than double Street Fighter's average from roughly a quarter of the venues. A24 built that result on a sub-$10 million production, sellouts in a limited footprint and an audience that skewed young, according to Deadline's preview reporting. The lesson there is not about any single genre; it is that scarcity and event positioning can still move people into theaters when the hook is specific and the conversation is already happening online. Sense and Sensibility's A- grade and $25 million reported budget also make it a quiet, sensible bet for Focus, especially with overseas grosses already ahead of domestic. A weekend running 42% ahead of last year, with three very different films over $7 million, is a healthier picture than the headline opening alone suggests."
