New Street Fighter movie bombs at box office

While we are still waiting for Capcom to make up their minds on when they will release their PC port of Street Fighter IV, the publisher has to deal with the fact that the second live-action feature film based on their fighting game series didn't register with the movie going public.

Box Office Mojo reports that Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li, only brought in $4.65 million in its debut weekend. It managed an eighth place finish among the films showing in US theaters this weekend. The film got little publicity aside from a few TV commericals and was not shown to movie critics before release. That's usually a sign that the movie studio knows it's not very good. By contrast the 1994 Street Fighter movie (with Jean-Claude Van Damme and the late Raul Julia in his final role) brought in $6.8 million in its opening weekend (and that figure is not adjusted for inflation).
