'Street Fighter' Leads Box Office With $51 Million Global Opening

Key Points:

• The new "Street Fighter" film has a B- CinemaScore and mixed Rotten Tomatoes scores (40% critics, 80% audience), similar to the 1994 version, and faces tough competition from Warner Bros./DC’s "Clayface" next weekend.
• 20th Century Studios’ survival thriller "Whalefall," despite positive reviews (71% critics, 81% audience), is underperforming with a $17.5 million worldwide opening against a $60 million budget, likely joining recent box office disappointments.
• A24’s documentary "You Can See Everything" achieved the highest opening for a documentary in over a decade, grossing $15 million from 855 screens, marking a significant indie success with a budget under $10 million.
• Universal/Blumhouse-Atomic Monster’s "Other Mommy" holds the No. 3 spot with $8.3 million in its second weekend but has dropped 70% from its $27 million opening, though it remains a modest success against a $19 million budget.
• Sony/TriStar’s "Resident Evil" nears $150 million domestically and $361 million globally, offsetting losses from Sony’s "The Social Reckoning," while Warner Bros.’ "Digger" is rapidly declining after grossing only $17 million domestically against a $160 million budget.
