Street Fighter Movie Hits $50M+ in Opening Weekend
The future of fighting games is hitting the big screen, and while some fans held their breath for the live-action adaptation of Street Fighter, the cinematic event has proven to be a major hit.
Despite some early concerns about audience turnout for the new movie, the spectacle managed to dominate the global box office this weekend, securing a remarkable $51.1 million in international earnings.
This performance delivers a solid showing, especially considering the high expectations surrounding the production. Optimists had been aiming for a much larger figure, hoping for a total closer to $70 million.
Even with the ambitious scale of the film, which came with an 82 million budget, this result is undeniably a decent outcome. It suggests that audiences are ready for the action, proving that the legacy of Street Fighter still commands a massive global appetite.
