Street Fighter is predicted to open at No. 1 at the weekend box office with about $25 million, according to box office forecasts published by JoBlo. The Paramount reboot is projected to lead the frame despite muted early buzz and a limited press screening schedule.
Whalefall is forecast to open in second place with about $14 million. The film stars Austin Abrams, who is coming off Resident Evil, and has drawn solid early buzz.
You Can See Everything is expected to open with about $10 million on roughly 800 screens. The documentary is directed by Nathan Fielder and centers on Elizabeth Holmes.
Other Mommy is predicted to fall more than 70% in its second weekend, to about $8 million. Verity is forecast to earn about $6 million, enough to beat the latest Sense and Sensibility adaptation, which is expected to just miss the top five.
