The Street Fighter box office just hit a new low. Paramount’s video game adaptation earned only $3.2 million in its third weekend, a crash steep enough that the studio pulled it from roughly 750 theaters. Domestically it has made $53.5 million against a reported $82 million budget, and the numbers keep getting worse.
Trade outlets including ScreenRant and Collider have tracked the collapse weekend by weekend, with the latest round of theater cuts confirmed in reporting published October 31.
How Bad Is the Street Fighter Box Office Drop?
Street Fighter opened well on October 16, pulling in $30.8 million domestically over its first weekend — the biggest opening in the franchise’s film history, according to Box Office Mojo. Then it fell off a cliff.
Weekend two dropped 72%, which ScreenRant reported is Paramount’s sixth-biggest weekend decline in the studio’s history for a movie that wasn’t a concert film. Weekend three fell again, down to $3.2 million as the theater count was cut from 3,575 to 2,825.
| Weekend | Dates | Domestic Gross | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Opening | Oct 16–18 | $30.8 million | — |
| Weekend 2 | Oct 23–25 | $8 million | -72% |
| Weekend 3 | Oct 30–Nov 1 | $3.2 million | ~-62% |
As of November 2, Street Fighter’s cumulative domestic total sits at $53.47 million, with a worldwide gross of $92.37 million, per Box Office Mojo.
Why Paramount Pulled It From 750 Theaters
ScreenRant reported the theater cuts on October 31, noting the move was “somewhat surprising,” since the Halloween frame didn’t have a major new wide release competing for screens. Rotten Tomatoes has the film at a middling 41% certified rotten, which hasn’t helped word of mouth carry it past its opening crowd.
What’s Dragging the Street Fighter Movie Down
The stacked cast was the pitch: Jason Momoa as Blanka, 50 Cent as Balrog, WWE’s Roman Reigns as Akuma, David Dastmalchian as M. Bison, Cody Rhodes as Guile and Olivier Richters as Zangief, directed by Kitao Sakurai for Legendary and Paramount.
That’s also what makes the collapse notable rather than just another misfire: Street Fighter didn’t open soft and fade quietly. It set a franchise opening-weekend record on October 16, then posted one of Paramount’s worst second-weekend drops on record a week later. Going from a record debut to a record collapse inside two weekends is the rarer, harder story — audiences showed up once and didn’t come back.
Paramount hasn’t issued a public statement on the theater pullback or the film’s performance. The studio’s own box office data, tracked daily by Box Office Mojo, shows the per-theater average falling alongside the wider drop.
ScreenRant’s October 31 report on the theater cuts (covered here) and Collider’s weekend-two breakdown (here) both track the same slide this piece draws its weekend figures from.
The reversal is stark next to where this started. Our own opening-day review roundup had Street Fighter tracking toward a roughly $70 million global opening weekend behind a 45% Rotten Tomatoes score. Three weeks later, the RT score has drifted down to 41% and the studio is pulling the movie from theaters instead of expanding it.
