Street Fighter Lands a $13 Million Uppercut While Whalefall Takes a Dive

Street Fighter Lands a $13 Million Uppercut While Whalefall Takes a Dive

Street Fighter stepped into the ring of the weekend box office and delivered a $13 million knockout, seizing the top spot.

Behind it, You Can See Everything pulled in $5.5 million, comfortably holding the second place, while the whale‑centric Whalefall sank to the bottom of the list.

The crowded field also included the literary drama Sense and Sensibility and A24’s documentary about Elizabeth Holmes, which generated buzz but didn’t crack the upper tier of earnings.

Audiences clearly chose a fighter over a fish, at least for this weekend.

Box‑office analysts note that a $13 million opening is the cinematic equivalent of a high‑five from a cheering crowd.

Meanwhile, the producers of Whalefall may have to rethink their strategy—perhaps a sequel titled Whalefall: The Upside‑Down Edition—to keep the whale afloat.

In short, the numbers prove that while every movie gets its day, only a few land the punches that keep the crowd on its feet.
