Will the 3rd attempt be the right one?
In the game of film adaptations of video game franchises, it’s clear that the box office and audiences are often the losers. How many hideous failures are there (hello Paul WS Anderson) for starters silent Hill ? How many financial disasters for one Super Mario Bros., the movie ($1.36 billion in revenue)?
Despite the permanent turbulence that this type of adaptation goes through, the failure of a film, or even more, does not call into question the attractiveness of new projects. Why the announcement of the release date of the new film street fighter It arouses intense curiosity and awakens the hope of seeing a successful feature film on Capcom’s cult fighting video game.
See you in 2026
After the legendary and generally hated street fighter from 1994 with Jean-Claude Van Damme, there was Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li with Kristin Kreuk in 2009, released direct to video in France. This one did even worse than its predecessor, who at least had the merit of doing so bring back the greenback ($99.4 million in revenue against a budget of $35 million). A financial failure, the 2009 film was also unanimously deemed worthless, with a score of 3% in the critical note above Rotten tomatoeswhich would almost make you appreciate the 11% From street fighter.
Sony Pictures, despite these first two forgettable films, does not intend to abandon the universe street fighter, and is therefore preparing a new feature film with the studios Legendary Pictures and Capcom. Until then, Australian twins Danny and Michael Philippou (The hand) were announced to direct, but recently pulled out of the project to work on their new horror film for A24. The official release date announcement for street fighter It therefore suggests that an administrator should be very close to formalizing his participation.
street fighter is dated in American theaters for March 20, 2026. In addition to finding someone to direct the film, the cast also remains to be assembled.
