So much so that it\u2019s impacting the other major wide release this weekend \u2013 \u201cWhalefall\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Despite better reviews than most wide releases this month, \u201cWhalefall\u201d is coming in well below projections.  Its opening weekend is looking to be just $7.5 million, instead of the $10-12 million tracking suggested earlier this week, and a fourth-place start.<\/p>\n<p>Dominating the conversation is the doco \u201cYou Can See Everything,\u201d which is exceeding expectations.  Despite releasing on a limited footprint of 855 screens, around one-quarter of \u201cStreet Fighter,\u201d it\u2019s managed to debut in second place with the number expected to be around $13 million. Critical reviews have been stellar.<\/p>\n<p>The horror film \u201cOther Mommy,\u201d which won last weekend, is dying a very quick death.  The poorly reviewed film looks set to drop 72% in its second weekend for a $7.85 million take and managing to land in third place.<\/p>\n<p>The new take on \u201cSense and Sensibility\u201d rounds out the top five with $6.7 million.  One other release of note is the restored cut of Ken Russell\u2019s \u201cThe Devils\u201d which will debut in eleventh place with $1.64 million from 350 screens along with earning universal acclaim amongst critics.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/2026\/10\/box-office-street-fighter-you-can-see-everything-1237159320\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Deadline<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"20th Century Studios It\u2019s a busy October weekend at the box-office with multiple releases this week doing varying&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":932280,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[64,63,142132,134,344],"class_list":["post-932279","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-bigslider","tag-entertainment","tag-movies"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/932279","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=932279"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/932279\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/932280"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=932279"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=932279"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=932279"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
