Street Fighter knocked out the competition at the box office this weekend, opening at No. 1 worldwide with $51.1 million, according to figures reported by [Deadline](https://deadline.com/2026/10/box-office-street-fighter-you-can-see-everything-1237159320/?ref=thenaijanerds.com).

The film follows Ryu and Ken as they reunite when Chun-Li recruits them for the World Warrior Tournament, where they face a hidden conspiracy.

Paramount's video game adaptation earned an estimated $31m domestically from 3,575 theaters and $20.1m from international markets. That is the biggest opening in the franchise's film history, though it trails Mortal Kombat II's $38.5m debut earlier this year.

The overall domestic weekend topped $103m, nearly 42% above the same weekend last year, according to [Box Office Mojo](https://www.boxofficemojo.com/release/rl1752465409/?ref%5F=bo%5Fhm%5Frd&ref=thenaijanerds.com). A24's You Can See Everything took second place with $15m from 855 screens.

**Audiences give it a B-**

Opening day audiences gave the film a B- CinemaScore, the same grade as the 1994 original. Mortal Kombat II earned a B. The film carries a reported $82m production budget, before marketing costs.

50 Cent plays Balrog, a character Okayplayer ranked among the 30 most iconic Black video game characters. Michael Clarke Duncan and Grand L. Bush played the boxer in earlier films.
