Removed From 750 Theaters, ‘Street Fighter’ Officially Passes Final Box-Office Milestone
The video game adaptation *Street Fighter* has passed $50 million worldwide after three weeks in cinemas, but its steep box-office declines suggest that may be its last major milestone. Its performance has lagged behind expectations despite the recent success of another video game film, *Resident Evil*.
The film opened in 3,575 US theatres and, after losing 750 locations, is now showing in 2,835. Revenue fell 72% in its second weekend and a further 57% in its third. It remains below $100 million worldwide and is projected to finish short of *Mortal Kombat II*’s reported $130 million haul; the article gives no final box-office total or production budget for *Street Fighter*.
In short
- *Street Fighter* has passed $50 million worldwide.
- It has lost 750 US theatres after three weeks.
- Its box-office declines make further milestones unlikely.
