'Street Fighter' Eyes Box Office Victory as Dr. Elizabeth Holmes Goes for Strong Release

"You Can See Everything," "Whalefall" and "Sense and Sensibility" are among the weekend's notable newcomers.

Street Fighter is hoping for a muscular opening weekend at the box office with some competition from a number of newcomers including Elizabeth Holmes' A24 documentary You Can See Everything.

Paramount Pictures is releasing the Street Fighter video game adaptation in more than 3,500 North American theaters on Friday, with the studio projecting an estimated $30 million domestically and an average $30 million internationally. Director Kitao Sakurai's feature film has a production budget of $82 million, split equally between producers Legendary Pictures and Capcom. Paramount sees only positives for the film, which is the first release under its distribution deal with Legendary.

Ben Affleck warned that the box office bomb "Digging" would lead to "a collection of homogenous show movies."

Critics are not satisfied, with Street Fighter holding a 43% review score on Rotten Tomatoes. Critic Frank Scheck, in his review for The Hollywood Reporter, called the film a "muddled mess" and "only sporadically" entertaining. Noah Centineo, Andrew Cudgee and Kalina Liang star in this film about a martial arts tournament. Street Fighter is the third feature in the Capcom video game adaptation franchise released in 1987.

Whalefall is also in theaters, and 20th Century Studios released director Brian Duffield's survival thriller in 3,065 North American locations. The studio is projecting an opening of $10 million to $12 million for the $60 million film, which is based on the 2023 novel by Daniel Krauss. After directing last month's Resident Evil, Austin Abrams stars as a diver who is swallowed by a sperm whale while searching for the remains of his late father (Josh Brolin).

Whalefall has a 70% approval rating from critics on Rotten Tomatoes. THR senior film critic David Rooney wrote in his review that the film "isn't crazy enough to be very entertaining."

A24 has high hopes for You Can See Everything, a documentary that follows the infamous Theranos founder Holmes as he begins his prison sentence. The studio is opening the film in about 800 North American theaters, and projections are around $7 million for the $5 million budget film directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim. Earlier this year, Melania opened to $7 million from 1,700 domestic theaters, the highest-grossing non-musical documentary in more than a decade.

You Can See Everything has an incredible 100% critic rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Critic Angie Hahn called it "smart, funny and full of surprises" in her review for THR.

Also opening this weekend is Focus Features' Sense and Sensibility, which opens at 2,436 locations in North America. Focus is projecting $8 million domestic for director Georgia Oakley's adaptation of Jane Austen's classic, given the film's 2018 budget. Mid-$20 million Daisy Edgar Jones and Esme Creed Miles star as the Dashwood sisters, who deal with the death of their father. Ang Lee directed the 1995 Oscar-winning version starring Emma Thompson, and it's still popular.

The new Sense and Sensibility has a Rotten Tomatoes reviewer approval rating of 77. Rooney writes that the film "rarely leaves the long shadow of Ang Lee's enchanting 1995 retelling".
