Street Fighter North America Box Office: Loses #1 Spot After A Brutal 73% Monday Drop, But Eyes Franchise Record

Street Fighter has lost the top spot in the North American box office rankings, despite the incoming franchise record. The film is facing a major setback at the North American box office after mixed word-of-mouth took a toll on its weekday performance. The video game adaptation lost the #1 spot to the docu movie, but it is inches away from beating the domestic haul of the 1994 original, setting a new franchise record. Keep scrolling for the deets.

Street Fighter witnesses harsh drop at the domestic box office

The movie declined sharply on its first Monday at the North American box office. It lost the #1 spot to the documentary You Can See Everything. The video game adaptation collected just $1.9 million on its first Monday domestically, marking the 2nd biggest Monday haul ever for a fighting video game adaptation. However, the film posted a steep 73% decline from Sunday, suggesting that mixed word-of-mouth is affecting its momentum.

The decline is steeper than that of Mortal Kombat 2, released earlier this year, which earned $2.8 million on its first Monday after dropping 67.2% from Sunday. In four days, the domestic total for Street Fighter has reached the $32.7 million mark [via Box Office Mojo]. The movie is on track to hit the $50 million milestone at the North American box office.

Street Fighter is on track to beat the original movie’s domestic haul

For the uninitiated, the original movie was released in 1994 and grossed $33 million during its run. It remains the all-time highest-grossing movie in the Street Fighter franchise. But the 2026 movie will soon surpass the 1994 classic and achieve this title. Jason Momoa starrer is less than $1 million away from surpassing the OG movie as the all-time highest-grossing movie in the franchise at the North American box office.
