Street Fighter wins the weekend, Whalefall gets swallowed
By Fuzzy Mushroom · Published
Street Fighter topped the North American box office with $31m ($51m worldwide) against a reported $82m budget. The $60m survival thriller Whalefall opened with just $8m, even though it was better reviewed. Deadline blames the two films chasing the same crowd of older men.
Better reviews, smaller crowds. Does money speak, or just shout?
