The US domestic box office generated a busy weekend from October 16 to 18, with Paramount’s Street Fighter debuting at No. 1 with $31 million, while A24’s documentary You Can See Everything delivered an impressive $15 million opening from just 855 theatres. Street Fighter also collected $20.1 million internationally, taking its worldwide opening to $51.1 million. The weekend’s other notable performers included Other Mommy, which retained third place despite a steep decline, and the new releases Whalefall and Sense and Sensibility. Rajinikanth’s Indian film Jailer 2 also featured among the top 10 titles in the supplied domestic weekend data.
Street Fighter, directed by Kitao Sakurai and starring Noah Centineo and Andrew Koji, opened across 3,575 theatres. Its $31 million domestic debut placed it comfortably ahead of the weekend’s other releases. The film follows estranged fighters who are recruited to participate in a tournament that forces them to confront each other. Legendary and video game developer Capcom co-financed the production, which carries a reported budget of $82 million. Its worldwide opening reached $51.1 million, including $20.1 million from international markets.
The weekend’s biggest surprise came from You Can See Everything, directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim. The documentary about Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes earned $15 million from 855 theatres, delivering a per-theatre average of approximately $17,544. The opening substantially exceeded the $7 million to $8 million range reported in pre-release expectations and made it one of the strongest documentary debuts in more than two decades. A24 also reported more than 2,000 sold-out screenings, indicating strong demand for the film’s limited theatrical release.
The documentary’s performance was particularly notable given its nearly three-hour runtime and limited initial release. Its opening also ranked among the strongest debuts for a film playing in fewer than 1,000 theatres since Borat opened in 2006. The film’s reception and initial ticket sales have made it one of the weekend’s leading domestic box-office stories, alongside Street Fighter’s chart-topping debut.
Universal’s Other Mommy placed third with approximately $8.35 million in its second weekend, down 70% from its debut. The horror film nevertheless took its domestic cumulative gross to approximately $44.85 million. With a reported production budget of $18 million, its domestic performance has made it one of the stronger performers among the weekend’s returning releases.
Two other new releases opened in fourth and fifth place. Disney and 20th Century’s survival thriller Whalefall, starring Austin Abrams, earned $8 million from 3,065 theatres. The film follows a scuba diver who is swallowed by a sperm whale. Its domestic opening was below expectations, while its reported international gross of $9.5 million brought its worldwide opening to $17.5 million.
Focus Features’ Sense and Sensibility, the latest adaptation of Jane Austen’s novel, debuted with $7.25 million from 2,545 theatres. The film, led by Daisy Edgar-Jones and Esmé Creed-Miles, also reported approximately $11 million internationally, taking its worldwide opening to $18.5 million. Its reported production budget is $25 million.
Among returning titles, Verity collected $6.21 million in its weekend, declining 48% and bringing its domestic total to approximately $66.09 million. Resident Evil earned $5.5 million, down 36%, taking its cumulative domestic gross to approximately $148.46 million. Heart of the Beast added $4.83 million after a 35% decline, lifting its domestic total to approximately $58.32 million.
Rajinikanth’s Jailer 2 also appeared in the supplied US domestic Top 10 data, with a reported weekend gross of $3.27 million across 800 theatres and a cumulative total of $5.27 million. Its inclusion places an Indian production among the leading films in the reported North American weekend rankings. The figures should be read in the context of the specific domestic chart being used, as rankings and reported totals can vary between preliminary estimates and updated charts.
Forgotten Island completed the supplied Top 10 with $2.25 million. The film declined 52% in its reported weekend, taking its cumulative domestic gross to approximately $35.11 million after 24 days in release.
The specialty box office also produced a notable result with La Bola Negra, which collected $277,500 from four theatres in Los Angeles and New York. Its per-theatre average of $69,375 drew attention to the limited release, while Netflix’s decision to report the film’s theatrical grosses marked a notable development in the streaming company’s theatrical distribution strategy.
The weekend’s overall domestic performance was also stronger than the comparable period last year. One industry report put total ticket sales at approximately $101.6 million, up 45% from the same weekend in 2025. The combination of a major video-game adaptation, a strong documentary opening, horror and literary adaptations demonstrated the range of titles drawing audiences to North American theatres.
