The 2026 Street Fighter movie has lost a substantial part of its North American theatrical footprint during its first month, according to figures reported by ScreenRant from The Numbers. The live-action adaptation is now playing in 814 theaters during its fifth weekend, down from 1,760 screens before the latest reduction.

The film was removed from 946 theaters in one week, following a reduction of 1,065 screens during its fourth weekend. Across its first month in theaters, the movie has been taken off 2,761 North American screens. The figures concern the domestic box office and do not establish the movie’s availability or theatrical schedule in the Philippines.

A sharp fall after the opening weekend

Starring Noah Centineo as Ken Masters, the film is the third live-action feature based on Capcom’s fighting-game franchise. Its ensemble cast includes Andrew Koji, Callina Liang, Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, David Dastmalchian, Orville Peck, Don Lee, 50 Cent and Jason Momoa.

Street Fighter opened with the strongest domestic weekend in the franchise’s history. Its performance then fell by 72.1% during the second weekend. By the fourth weekend, the film had dropped from No. 5 to No. 11 on the domestic chart, a movement that preceded the latest theater reductions.

The film still set a franchise record

The shrinking theater count comes alongside a notable financial milestone. The 2026 film has become the highest-grossing entry in the Street Fighter franchise, surpassing the $99.4 million domestic gross of the original 1994 movie.

That result gives the new adaptation a stronger box-office record than its predecessor, even as its North American theatrical availability contracts. For players in the Philippines and Southeast Asia, the reported figures provide context for the film’s performance as a game adaptation, but ScreenRant’s report does not include a Philippine release schedule, local theater count or regional box-office total.

  • Street Fighter is in its fifth weekend at the North American box office.
  • The film is currently showing in 814 theaters, after being removed from 946 screens.
  • It has surpassed the original 1994 movie’s $99.4 million domestic gross.
