“Street Fighter Movie Punches $4M in Previews, Eyes $30M+ Opening Weekend at U.S. Box Offic” — what this page in the network covers. Paramount and Legendary's PG-13 adaptation of Capcom's classic video game series 'Street Fighter' is off to a strong start, earning approximately $4 million in Thursday preview screenings that began at 2 p.m. Industry projections now suggest the martial arts action film could open to more than $30 million domestically this weekend, a solid debut for a movie with a net production cost of $82 million, co-financed by Legendary and Capcom.
The preview numbers indicate that nostalgia for the iconic fighting game franchise, combined with a broad PG-13 rating, is drawing both longtime fans and general audiences. A $30 million-plus opening would position 'Street Fighter' as a viable new franchise for Paramount and Legendary, potentially paving the way for sequels and expanding Capcom's cinematic universe.
