The domestic box office delivered another exciting weekend as Paramount Pictures’ Street Fighter battled its way to the No. 1 spot, earning an estimated $31 million during its opening weekend of October 16–18, 2026.
Based on Capcom’s legendary fighting game franchise, Street Fighter reportedly generated $51.1 million worldwide, demonstrating the continued popularity of video game adaptations on the big screen.
One of the weekend’s biggest surprises came from A24’s documentary You Can See Everything, which secured second place with an impressive $15 million despite playing in just 855 theaters.
Meanwhile, Universal’s horror film Other Mommy slipped from the top position to third place, bringing in $8.35 million. New releases Whalefall and Sense and Sensibility rounded out the weekend’s top five.
