Street Fighter Reboot Pulled From 2,000 Theaters
The latest Street Fighter film has been pulled from 2,000 theaters after struggling with critics and commercially.
The movie is the third attempt to launch a film franchise based on Capcom’s long-running fighting game series.
Directed by Kitao Sakurai, it arrived more than 15 years after the poorly received Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li.
The earlier 1994 adaptation, starring Jean-Claude Van Damme, earned $99 million worldwide against a reported $35 million budget.
The reboot’s weak performance makes another film in the series uncertain, especially compared with the success of other video game adaptations such as Resident Evil and Mortal Kombat.
The sources give no further details about the film’s release or plans for the franchise.
