Street Fighter box office day 18: $53.9M US, closing in on Jared Leto’s flop — but still far from break-even Street Fighter has crossed the $50 million mark in North America after 18 days, edging closer to surpassing the domestic total of Masters of the Universe, a $170 million sci-fi flop starring Jared Leto that grossed just $64.8 million. The film, which opened with $31 million in the US and $50.1 million globally on October 16, is now at $53.9 million domestically, a modest win against expectations, but enough to avoid slipping into obscurity.

It’s also $11 million shy of overtaking Leto’s movie, a milestone that would be ironic given the latter’s bigger budget and Oscar-winning star power. But the numbers don’t tell the full story. On its third Monday, the film dropped below $500k, collecting just $429,600 across 2,825 theaters, marking a near-35% decline from the previous week.

That’s a sign of fading momentum. Despite strong opening numbers, audience retention has been weak. Rotten Tomatoes gives it a 41% approval rating, while CinemaScore sits at B-, reflecting a split response. Still, the film holds firm in rankings, outperforming several higher-rated releases. The real challenge remains: breaking even.

With an $82 million production budget, Street Fighter needs over $205 million worldwide to turn a profit. So far, it’s nowhere near that. Its international performance, including $20.1 million in markets like the UK, Germany, and South Korea, hasn’t been enough to offset the soft US hold. And while the post-credits scene hints at sequels, the lack of buzz makes franchise expansion unlikely unless something changes. Meanwhile, Jason Momoa’s Heart of the Beast continues to pull ahead, though not by much.

The race between these two high-budget adaptations, one a game reboot, the other a failed fantasy, is less about quality and more about survival. For now, Street Fighter survives.
