Street Fighter eyes $70 million debut weekend at the worldwide box office
According to Deadline‘s latest report, Street Fighter is projected to top the domestic and worldwide box office charts this weekend, with the Capcom video game adaptation expected to collect in the high-$30 million range in North America and the mid-$30 million range internationally. This puts its global opening weekend at nearly $70 million, with the possibility of a stronger debut.

Even if it earns more than $30 million in North America, the video game adaptation will still not be among the top 30 biggest opening weekends ever for October releases. The Jason Momoa starrer will be clashing against Austin Abrams and Josh Brolin‘s Whalefall. It will be interesting to see which film ultimately emerges as the box-office winner.

The film follows estranged street fighters Ryu and Ken Masters as they reunite after Chun-Li recruits them for the next World Warrior Tournament, a brutal showdown fueled by skill, fate, and fury. However, they soon uncover a deadly conspiracy that forces them to fight each other while confronting the demons of their past. Street Fighter will be released on October 16.
