## Key points

- The 2026 film has grossed about $99.2 million worldwide.
- The 1994 adaptation remains ahead at roughly $99.43 million.
- A sequel is being written, but its prospects depend partly on revenue.

## Summary

The 2026 Street Fighter film has narrowly missed overtaking the 1994 adaptation as the franchise’s highest-grossing film. With about $99.2 million in worldwide ticket sales by 10 November, it is just below the original’s estimated $99.43 million total and has left 1,700 cinemas, bringing its theatrical run towards a close.

The new film opened with $51.1 million, then saw a sharp fall in weekly takings. Its reported production budget was $80 million, excluding marketing, and the article estimates it has made about $20 million above that cost so far. A streaming release could add revenue, while the cast and director have discussed a sequel, which is already being written; its future depends partly on the film’s eventual earnings.
