“Street Fighter,” the video game adaptation featuring WWE Superstars Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns, finished atop the global box office in its opening weekend, pulling in a combined $51.1 million. According to figures reported by Fightful, the film earned $31 million domestically and an additional $20.1 million internationally over its first three days in theaters.
The movie opened in theaters on Friday, October 16, 2026, and Fightful reported it took in $13 million on its opening day alone before building to its full weekend total. The strong debut gives Paramount, working alongside Legendary and Capcom, a number-one finish for a project built around one of the most recognizable fighting game franchises in the world.
WrestleView, citing a report from Deadline, confirmed that the film’s cast includes both Rhodes and Reigns, placing two of WWE’s most prominent champions inside a major studio release during the same release window. Their involvement continues a pattern of WWE talent appearing in mainstream film projects, adding visibility for both performers outside the ring as the production competed for opening-weekend audiences against other wide releases.
Neither outlet detailed which characters Rhodes or Reigns portray in the film, nor did the available reporting specify how large their respective roles are within the broader “Street Fighter” cast. The reporting instead centers on the commercial performance of the release itself, with the $51.1 million worldwide haul standing as the headline figure from its debut frame.
For WWE, a number-one box office finish tied to two of its top stars represents a notable crossover moment, reinforcing the company’s ongoing push to place its talent in front of audiences beyond its weekly television programming and premium live events. Whether the film’s performance translates into additional opportunities for Rhodes, Reigns, or other WWE performers in future studio projects remains to be seen, as no further details on sequels, extended runs, or follow-up casting were included in the available reporting.
As of this report, neither Fightful nor WrestleView has published additional specifics on the film’s narrative connection to the Street Fighter game franchise or on any promotional plans WWE may have tied to the release.
