Street Fighter Reboot Pulled From 1,700 Theaters
Paramount’s Street Fighter reboot has been removed from 1,700 theaters after three weeks in cinemas.
The film is a new adaptation of the long-running video game series, which has previously been made into movies.
It has earned about as much as its reported $82 million budget, and its returns have been declining.
That makes it unlikely to break even through theatrical ticket sales, according to the article.
The film has a 41% score on Rotten Tomatoes, with critics faulting its story and humor.
It has also yet to surpass Mortal Kombat II’s roughly $130 million worldwide gross, despite that film being considered an underperformer.

What people are saying
The latest iteration of Street Fighter has plenty of affection for its source material and doesn't lack for dizzying style, but its incoherent storytelling and juvenile humor make for a disappointing regression among video game adaptations.
