Olivia Colman’s R-Rated Fairy Tale Officially Beats ‘Street Fighter’ at the Box Office
A24’s *Wicker*, an R-rated fairy tale based on Ursula Wills’s short story *The Wicker Husband*, earned $4.1 million on its second weekend and moved up to fourth place in the US box office. Its modest decline suggests it is holding its audience while *Street Fighter* falls down the rankings after a stronger opening.
The film has taken $13.4 million globally, excluding its UK opening haul, which the article does not quantify. It opened with $5.7 million and fell by 28% in its second weekend; meanwhile, *Street Fighter* earned less over the same weekend. The article also reports that *You Can See Everything* topped the charts with more than $60 million after two weekends, despite limited international release.
In short
- *Wicker* earned $4.1 million in its second US weekend.
- Its global total reached $13.4 million, before its UK opening is counted.
- It outperformed *Street Fighter* over the weekend.
Explained simply
Wicker is a dark fairy tale based on Ursula Wills’s short story The Wicker Husband. It stars Olivia Colman and is rated R in the United States, meaning it is intended for adults and may be unsuitable for younger viewers.
The film is distributed by A24, an independent entertainment company that releases films in cinemas. Box office figures track how much a film earns from ticket sales, and its position in the rankings can shift as new films open and audiences change.
Street Fighter is a separate film based on the long-running video game series of the same name. Comparing the films’ ticket sales offers one measure of how they are performing in cinemas, though it does not by itself show their production costs or overall profitability.
