Street Fighter drops 72% at the US box office

Street Fighter lost 72.1% of its audience between its first and second weekend.
After a $30 M opening that brought the total to just under $47 M in the United States, the film slipped to fourth place in the weekly ranking, behind Wildwood and Wicker.
The budget, estimated at about $82 M excluding promotion, contrasts with a Metacritic score of 43/100, a sign of a lukewarm critical reception.
Directed by Kitao Sakurai, the feature fails to win over either audiences or critics, which could jeopardize any sequel.
According to Screen Wide, the attendance drop is among the steepest seen recently.
