The film adaptation of Street Fighter achieved a number one debut at the US box office, earning $31 million during its opening weekend. This performance falls short of the $38.5 million domestic start seen by Mortal Kombat 2 earlier this year. Globally, the movie generated $20.1 million, bringing its total worldwide opening to $51.1 million, which is significantly lower than the initial $70 million projection.
Early indicators from Thursday results showed the film earning $4 million in the US, trailing the $5.2 million debut of Mortal Kombat 2. While Sonic the Hedgehog started with a lower $3 million figure before finding success, the $82 million production budget for Street Fighter presents a financial challenge. Industry standards suggest films typically require double their production costs to be deemed successful, a milestone the movie did not reach in its opening frame.
Future performance may depend on positive word of mouth to sustain theater attendance. The film faces limited competition in the action genre until the November 1 re-release of V for Vendetta. While the movie will not be released in China, international revenue is anticipated to rely on markets including Mexico, Brazil, the UK, Australia, and various Asian territories.
