Street Fighter Removed From 900+ Theaters After Dropping Off Top 10 Chart

He has been writing and podcasting about pop culture (especially horror movies) for over a decade at platforms including Blumhouse, Fangoria, Dread Central, The Backlot, and Arrow in the Head. Street Fighter is hemorrhaging theaters at the end of its first month at the box office. The new movie is the third live-action feature adapting the fighting game franchise of the same name and stars Noah Centineo as Ken Masters opposite a robust ensemble cast that includes Andrew Koji, Callina Liang, Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, David Dastmalchian, Orville Peck, Don Lee, 50 Cent, and Jason Momoa. Although 2026's Street Fighter debuted with the best domestic opening weekend of the entire franchise, it fell a devastating 72.1% during its sophomore weekend and was knocked from No. 5 on the domestic chart straight to No. 11 during its fourth weekend. Per The Numbers, Street Fighter is now playing in 814 theaters at the domestic box office during its fifth weekend. This sees it being dropped from 946 screens in one fell swoop after dropping from 1,065 screens during its fourth weekend. Overall, it has been removed from 2,761 screens across North America over the course of its first month in theaters. The movie is now playing in fewer theaters than the Elizabeth Holmes documentary You Can See Everything, which opened on 855 screens during the same weekend as Street Fighter and is now playing in 1,845 theaters amid a spectacular run that sees it approaching the Top 10 on the chart of the highest-grossing non-concert documentaries of all time (it is currently No. 11 behind 2009's Oceans). You Can See Everything's domestic run expanded to 2,655 theaters during its second weekend and 3,243 during its third. In spite of this theater drop, the action movie has accomplished two major victories this weekend. First, it has officially become the highest-grossing installment in the Street Fighter franchise, usurping the $99.4 million gross of the original 1994 movie. Second, it has passed the $100 million milestone at the global box office, hitting a cumulative total of $100.2 million on Friday. This makes it the 47th movie of 2026 to pass that milestone, outgrossing titles including Send Help ($94 million), Lee Cronin's The Mummy ($90.5 million), and Reminders of Him ($89.3 million). However, this is not nearly enough for the movie to turn a profit on its reported budget of $82 million. Because theaters keep half of ticket sales and marketing costs are not included in production budgets, the movie's estimated break-even point could be as high as $205 million. While its distributor, Paramount Pictures, is only on the hook for distribution costs (it was produced by Legendary Pictures and Capcom) and thus has likely seen a return on investment, the movie's overall performance will probably not be strong enough for the movie to earn a sequel at the same budget level, even though its ending implied that there was more to come in the franchise. Rearrange the movies into the correct US release order. The movie will have a chance to continue making money in its impending releases on video on demand, streaming, and physical media. Given the fact that audiences have given the movie a positive score of 78% on Rotten Tomatoes in spite of the fact that critics' Street Fighter reviews have earned it a splat with 42%, it could build enough word of mouth to have strong aftermarket value, though it may still not be enough to make up for its theatrical deficit.
