A new film adorns the top spot of the box-office weekend top ten as Street Fighter debuted $16.0 million ahead of its closest competition to claim first place in its first week of release.
Paramount Pictures enjoyed a $31.0 opening for Street Fighter as the film easily claimed first place of this week’s top ten. Sixteen million dollars behind that was the debut of A24’s You Can See Everything which claimed second place with $15.0 million taken in over the weekend. These two debuts unseated last week’s top film, Universal Pictures’ Other Mommy, which dropped two spots to third where it added $8.4 million over the weekend to give the film a two-week total of $44.9 million. Meanwhile, Whalefall debuted in fourth place where it took in $8.0 million for 20th Century Studios. Just behind that, Focus Features saw its Sense and Sensibility debut in fifth place with $7.3 million taken in this weekend.
Falling four places since last weekend, Verity claimed sixth place this weekend with $6.2 million, giving the Amazon MGM Studios release a three-week total of $66.1 million. Also dropping four spots this weekend was Resident Evil, which landed in seventh place with $5.5 million taken in for Columbia Pictures as the film’s five-week total rose to $148.5 million. In its fourth week of release, the Paramount Pictures product Heart of the Beast fell four spots as well to drop from fourth to eighth place this weekend where it added $4.8 million, giving the film an overall total of $58.3 million. The final debut of the weekend, Jailer 2, landed in ninth place where it made $3.3 million. Finally, Forgotten Island fell four places to land in tenth place where it brought in $2.3 million for DreamWorks, giving the film a four-week total of $35.1 million.
This weekend saw a turnover of half of last weekend’s top ten. Following a fifth-place finish seven days ago, The Social Reckoning dropped from the top ten in its second week of release after bringing in just $8.3 million for Sony Pictures Releasing. Meanwhile, all four films that finished in seventh- through tenth-place last week dropped from this weekend’s top ten. After bringing in a total of $45.3 million for A24 during the last four weeks, Primetime couldn’t maintain that momentum and fell from the top ten this weekend. A similar fate befell Digger, which brought in a total of $17.2 million over the last three weeks for Warner Bros. before dropping from the top ten this weekend. Sporting a two-week total of $3.6 million, Angel’s Angel and the Badman also fell out of the top ten following a ninth-place finish a week ago. Finally, after creeping back into the top ten last weekend, Universal Pictures’ The Odyssey again dropped from the list this weekend, with a fourteen-week total of $624.9 million.
