“Street Fighter,” the film featuring WWE stars Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns in prominent roles, suffered a steep decline at the domestic box office in its second weekend in theaters, according to figures reported by Deadline and cited by F4W Online and Wrestling Headlines.
The movie brought in an estimated $8.6 million over its second weekend, a 72% drop from its opening weekend total of $31 million. That decline was enough to knock the film out of the top three, with “Street Fighter” sliding to the number four spot at the box office.
A second-weekend drop of that magnitude represents a significant fall-off for a wide theatrical release, and it comes just one week after the film launched with a notably stronger opening figure. The gap between the $31 million debut and the $8.6 million follow-up weekend underscores how sharply audience turnout tapered off once the film moved past its first few days in theaters.
Both Rhodes and Reigns have been among WWE’s most visible crossover stars in recent years, with “Street Fighter” representing one of their higher-profile forays into major studio filmmaking. Rhodes currently holds a prominent position on WWE’s roster, while Reigns remains one of the promotion’s most recognizable headline acts, and their presence in the film had been a notable talking point surrounding its release given their standing in the wrestling industry.
Neither WWE nor representatives for Rhodes or Reigns have issued public comment on the box office performance, and the available reporting does not indicate what, if any, promotional plans WWE has tied to the film going forward. The reports also do not specify which other films placed above “Street Fighter” in the weekend rankings, nor do they detail the film’s budget or production costs, so the broader financial picture beyond the reported domestic weekend grosses remains unclear.
What is established is the topline box office trajectory: a $31 million opening weekend followed by an $8.6 million second weekend, a 72% decline that dropped the film to fourth place domestically. That pattern will likely shape how the film’s overall theatrical run, and its reception as a vehicle for its wrestling-star cast, is assessed in the weeks ahead.
