The 2026 Street Fighter film and its 1994 predecessor are finishing level, give or take a few hundred thousand dollars. IGN reports that Legendary’s reboot had earned an estimated $99.2 million worldwide as of 10 November, just under the roughly $99.43 million the Raul Julia and Jean-Claude Van Damme original took in. Which side of that line the new film lands on depends on whose tracker you read.
IGN splits its figure into $57.4 million in North America and $41.7 million internationally. The Numbers) lists a slightly later total of $99,526,527, with $57.8 million domestic after the 10 November daily gross was added. That would put the reboot a little ahead of the 1994 figure IGN cites. Either way, the margin is under $300,000 on a film that cost a reported $80-82 million to make, before marketing.
A big opening, then a steep slide
The film opened on 16 October to $51.1 million worldwide, which we covered at the time as a No. 1 debut short of the $70 million hoped for. The Numbers shows the US weekend gross falling 72% in the second weekend, 57% in the third and 42% in the fourth, with the film slipping from first to fifth place and then out of the top 10. Its US footprint has shrunk from 3,575 theatres at launch to 1,760 for the 6-8 November weekend. IGN puts the current count at about 1,700.
The Numbers’ territory table also shows how the film fared in the region. In the UAE it took $705,000 in its opening weekend and $1.2 million as of 1 November. Egypt’s total was $19,665 as of 6 November. The UK was the biggest international market listed, at $8.1 million.
Sequel plans and home release
IGN says the 4K Steelbook release is confirmed, with two variant covers showing either the heroes or the villains. Neither IGN nor The Numbers gives a release date for the Steelbook or a streaming debut.
The film’s ending sets up a follow-up that introduces a character absent from this one. IGN reports that Zangief actor Olivier Richters said on social media that the whole cast signed for a trilogy, and that director Kitao Sakurai said a sequel is already being written. IGN adds that a greenlight depends on how much the first film ends up earning, which makes these last few theatrical dollars more important than they look.
While the studio waits on that, the cast has been busy with a different kind of crossover. They told IGN they’d happily make a film with the Mortal Kombat crew, and Ed Boon replied that the game would come first, then the movie. Our earlier post covers the cast’s original pitch.
Has the 2026 Street Fighter film beaten the 1994 original at the box office?
It depends on the tracker. IGN’s 10 November estimate of $99.2 million is just below the 1994 film’s roughly $99.43 million. The Numbers’ later figure of $99.53 million is just above it.
Is there a Street Fighter sequel?
Nothing is confirmed by the studio. According to IGN, Sakurai says a sequel is being written, and Richters says the cast signed for three films. IGN says the final decision hinges on how much the first film earns.
When can I watch Street Fighter at home?
No streaming or Steelbook date has been announced in the sources we’ve read. The 4K Steelbook is confirmed, with hero and villain cover variants.
