Street Fighter’s domestic opening of roughly $31 million fell short of studio hopes for a stronger $35–40 million launch, setting up a likely steep second-weekend decline. Mixed critical reception (around 41% on Rotten Tomatoes) and a B– CinemaScore signal limited word-of-mouth beyond core fans, while the film’s frontloaded performance mirrors other recent video-game adaptations like Mortal Kombat II. With a $82 million budget and modest international results ($20 million), traders see the 8–11 million range as the most probable outcome given typical 60–70% drops for comparable action titles in their second frame. Upcoming catalysts include the arrival of Clayface next weekend and any midweek holdover data that could confirm audience fatigue.
