Street Fighter Tops the Box Office With $51 Million Opening Weekend Amid Lackluster Reviews

Capcom's Street Fighter live action movie topped the global box office, earning $51.1 million during its opening weekend despite receiving lackluster reviews. While some optimists had hoped for a total closer to $70 million, the result is viewed as decent considering the film's $82 million budget. Despite initial concerns about audience turnout, the movie successfully secured the top worldwide position, provided that ticket sales do not drop significantly over the coming weeks, according to Deadline.
