Fighting game adaptation gets off to a more modest start than zombie horror
The autumn movie premiere season brought a showdown between two iconic Capcom franchises on the big screen. The new Street Fighter movie failed to mount strong competition against the recent Resident Evil adaptation during its opening weekend.
Box office results
Over its first weekend of release, the film based on the legendary fighting game grossed roughly half as much as the Resident Evil premiere.
- Street Fighter demonstrated a noticeably weaker start in theaters;
- Resident Evil maintains a commanding box office lead among recent Capcom films;
- Audiences and analysts are assessing the prospects for the adaptation's ongoing theatrical run.
