Street Fighter Opens at No. 1 With $31 Million as A24's You Can See Everything Stuns With $15 Million
Paramount's video-game adaptation landed inside its forecast range but below studio hopes, while Nathan Fielder's Elizabeth Holmes documentary posted one of the biggest documentary openings on record.
Paramount's Street Fighter opened at No. 1 over the October 16-18 weekend with an estimated $31 million from 3,575 theaters, a per-theater average of about $8,671, according to Box Office Mojo's weekend estimates and The Numbers' chart. Deadline reports $20.1 million overseas for a $51.1 million global debut. The result is solid rather than strong: Boxoffice Pro's forecast ranged from $25 million to $35 million, and the studio had reportedly hoped for the mid-$30 millions. Thursday previews were about $4 million and Friday about $12.5 million, according to 9to5Marvel.
Audiences gave it a B- CinemaScore, according to Deadline and The Hollywood Reporter, and Rotten Tomatoes shows 42% from critics on 101 reviews against a 79% Popcornmeter. The reported budget is $82 million before marketing. For comparison, Mortal Kombat II opened to $38.5 million earlier this year, and the 1994 Street Fighter film opened to about $6.9 million.
The weekend's surprise was A24's You Can See Everything, Nathan Fielder's Elizabeth Holmes documentary, which took second place with $15 million from only 855 theaters, an average of about $17,500 per screen. It had been forecast at $7 million to $8 million. JoBlo calls it the second-biggest documentary opening ever, excluding concert films. It cost about $7 million to make, runs 174 minutes, and holds 99% on Rotten Tomatoes and 99 on Metacritic.
Other Mommy fell 70% in its second weekend to $8.35 million for a $44.85 million domestic total, with a worldwide total of about $78.8 million, according to JoBlo. Disney's Whalefall, from 20th Century Studios, opened fourth with $8 million from 3,065 theaters, below forecasts of $10 million to $12 million. Focus Features' Sense and Sensibility opened fifth with $7.25 million from 2,545 theaters, and The Hollywood Reporter reports an A- CinemaScore.
Among holdovers, Verity dropped 48% to $6.21 million and has $66.09 million, and Resident Evil added $5.5 million (down 36%) for a $148.46 million total. Heart of the Beast took $4.83 million for $58.32 million. The Social Reckoning fell 69% to $1.55 million and has $8.28 million after two weekends, and Digger added $0.92 million for $17.24 million.
These are Sunday estimates, and Box Office Mojo's chart is labelled as estimates. The Numbers lists a combined weekend total of $101.85 million for 30 films, while Boxoffice Pro puts the total at $103.86 million. Studios report actuals on Monday, and we will update this page if the figures change.
