Street Fighter Box Office: 73% Monday Drop After $31M

Victory in the opening round doesn't mean much if you get knocked out the next day. Street Fighter box office momentum hit a wall on Monday, when the Paramount and Legendary fighter grossed just $1.9 million — a brutal 73% drop from Sunday — and surrendered the daily No. 1 spot to A24's documentary You Can See Everything. It's the first serious wobble for the $31 million opening-weekend champion, and the fight for legs is officially on.

The Monday Numbers: A Brutal 73% Fall

Context matters here. A 73% Monday fall is steep even by post-opening-weekend standards — and it came against Mortal Kombat II's comparable $2.8 million Monday (a softer 67.2% drop). Street Fighter's four-day domestic cume now stands at $32.7 million, with $20.1 million overseas for a $52.8 million worldwide total. That's well short of what Paramount projected (a mid-$30Ms domestic opening) and trade forecasts that had eyed roughly $70 million worldwide for the debut.

How You Can See Everything Stole the Crown

The day's biggest story might not be the loser at all. A24's You Can See Everything took in about $2.5 million from just 855 locations — reportedly making it the first film this century to top the daily chart while playing in fewer than 1,000 theatres. For a documentary to out-punch a $31 million opener on any day is remarkable; it speaks to both the doc's extraordinary per-theatre heat and Street Fighter's soft weekday pull-through from a mixed-word-of-mouth weekend.

The $33 Million Franchise Record Is Days Away

There is one belt Street Fighter is about to claim regardless. The 1994 original's entire domestic run stopped at $33 million, and the new film is less than $1 million away from surpassing it — tonight's business should do it. That would make the 2026 film the highest-grossing Street Fighter movie ever in North America, a milestone no amount of Monday hand-wringing can erase. Directed by Kitao Sakurai and starring Andrew Koji as Ryu, Noah Centineo as Ken and Callina Liang as Chun-Li, it has already beaten every previous live-action instalment's debut by a wide margin.

Can Street Fighter Reach $100 Million Worldwide?

The honest answer: it won't be easy. Trackers have the film on a path toward $100 million worldwide, but mixed word of mouth is the enemy of long legs, and the $73% Monday drop suggests audiences aren't rushing back. The counter-argument is the fighting-game audience itself — front-loaded, passionate, and likely to show up again for the theatrical experience. If the second weekend holds better than the Monday collapse suggests, $100 million stays in play. If not, Street Fighter may end up as a franchise record that still leaves Paramount wanting more.
