Her recommendation arrives as the movie scores a franchise-best opening weekend, earning the long-running fighting series a new box office milestone.<\/p>\n
Sydney Sweeney urges people to watch Noah Centineo’s Street Fighter<\/p>\n
Sydney Sweeney used her Instagram Story to encourage moviegoers to check out Centineo’s Street Fighter, praising him as both an actor and a person. “This guy has a really cool movie out,” she wrote, adding that audiences should see it because he is “awesome” and “such a good human” who deserves support.<\/p>\n
Centineo plays Ken Masters in the new Street Fighter movie, directed and co-written by Kitao Sakurai. The ensemble also features Andrew Koji as Ryu and Callina Liang as Chun-Li, alongside Jason Momoa, David Dastmalchian and Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson.<\/p>\n
The film hit theaters Oct. 16 and generated around $31 million across the domestic market in its first weekend, according to BoxOfficeMojo<\/a> statistics. Its international rollout added another $20.1 million from 65 markets, pushing the movie’s opening worldwide haul to $52.7 million.<\/p>\n The new Street Fighter has already outpunched its live-action predecessors at the domestic box office, earning more on opening weekend than the earlier films managed combined. Jean-Claude Van Damme’s 1994 adaptation debuted with $6.8 million<\/a>, while Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li<\/a> brought in just $4.7 million in 2010.<\/p>\n Audience reactions also favor the latest release. The movie currently holds a 79% Rotten Tomatoes audience<\/a> score, well ahead of the Street Fighter <\/a>(1994) movie’s 20% and The Legend of Chun-Li’s<\/a> 18%.<\/p>\n Sydney Sweeney and Noah Centineo are also collaborating on Gundam, which will throw their characters into a sprawling conflict where giant machines become weapons in a bitter fight for control.<\/p>\n Shioli Kutsuna, Michael Mando, and Gemma Chua-Tran are also part of the cast. Based on Bandai Namco Filmworks’ long-running franchise, the project draws from the mecha tradition that helped define science fiction centered on towering combat robots.<\/p>\n The post Sydney Sweeney Wants You To Watch Gundam Costar’s No. 1 Movie at Box Office<\/a> appeared first on Mandatory<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sydney Sweeney is giving Noah Centineo a public shout-out, asking fans to support her Gundam costar with some…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":652984,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[146,85,46],"class_list":["post-652983","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-entertainment","tag-il","tag-israel"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/652983","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=652983"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/652983\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/652984"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=652983"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=652983"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=652983"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
