  "account": "The 2026 Street Fighter film, released on October 16, 2026, managed to earn a tentative $99.2 million worldwide by November 10, 2026. However, it narrowly missed dethroning the original 1994 Street Fighter movie, which still holds the record for the highest-grossing adaptation. The original Street Fighter film, starring Raul Julia and Jean-Claude Van Damme, grossed approximately $99,431,786 globally, with $33,423,521 domestically and $66,008,265 internationally. The 2026 film, starring Andrew Koji, Callina Liang, and Noah Centineo, had a reported budget of $80 million, including marketing. Despite a major drop in box office numbers after its opening weekend, the movie still drew steady viewership in theaters. It has now left 1,700 theaters as of mid-November, with a 4K Steelbook release confirmed and plans for a trilogy in the works. The cast, including Olivier Richters as Zangief, expressed their desire for a sequel to introduce long-awaited characters.",
