'Street Fighter' opens in North America with $4M Thursday previews, a franchise best
Paramount and Legendary's live-action 'Street Fighter' reboot opened Oct 16 in more than 3,500 North American theaters, earning $4 million in Thursday previews — the best preview night in franchise history.
Why it matters
This is Capcom's fighting-game classic back on the big screen after 17 years, and the first theatrical release under Legendary's new global distribution deal with Paramount. Critics are split (about 47% on Rotten Tomatoes), but audiences give it 78% — and game fans are voting with their wallets.
Box office
The film opened Oct 16 in more than 3,500 North American theaters, including IMAX and RealD 3D. According to Deadline and Variety, it earned $4 million in Thursday previews — the best preview night ever for a 'Street Fighter' film, and the second-best among fighting video-game adaptations after 'Mortal Kombat II' ($5.2M). TheWrap reports industry expectations of a North American opening weekend above $30 million and a global debut near $70 million.

Directed by Kitao Sakurai, the film stars Andrew Koji as Ryu, Noah Centineo as Ken and Callina Liang as Chun-Li, with Jason Momoa as Blanka, David Dastmalchian as M. Bison, Roman Reigns as Akuma, Cody Rhodes as Guile and 50 Cent as Balrog. The production budget was about $82 million.
