Critics are split on the $100 million-plus reboot. Can 'Street Fighter' punch its way to No. 1 at the domestic box office Oct 16-18?
50% of users predicted YES — the community got this one right. 8 predictions cast.
The video-game adaptation "Street Fighter" won the domestic box office in its October 16-18, 2026 opening weekend, outperforming expectations for a franchise with a weak box-office history (the 1994 original opened to just $9.5 million). The reboot carried a reported budget north of $100 million and drew a mixed critical reception, with reviewers split on whether the film justified its cost, while early audience reaction ran more favorably than the critical score. The film generated roughly $4 million in Thursday preview screenings before expanding into its full weekend gross. Its chief competition came from A24's documentary "You Can See Everything," which posted a surprise roughly $15 million debut from a much smaller theater count, a figure well above its pre-release tracking, but still finished behind "Street Fighter" for the top spot on the weekend chart. Predict Six's community was evenly split heading into the weekend, with 50 percent forecasting a No. 1 finish, reflecting the real uncertainty critics and trade press had flagged about whether the reboot could overcome its mixed reviews and the franchise's track record.
