Hello! Welcome to **The** **Box Office Report** for the weekend of Oct. 16-18, 2026.

## 1\. Street Fighter

*Weekend gross: *$31M** 
*Total domestic gross: *$31M** 
*Last weekend: *New release** 
*Percent drop: *NA**

The new *Street Fighter* landed a knockout punch this weekend, grossing $31 million and easily defeating a handful of other new releases. Director **Kitao Sakurai**’s *Street Fighter* blew away the franchise’s previous opening weekend marks.

The bar there *was* low. The first *Street Fighter* movie opened with $9.5 million in 1994, and *Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li* could only muster up $4.7 million in 2009\. Sakurai’s *Street Fighter* came very close to beating the 1994 film’s entire $33.4 million domestic haul in a single weekend.

## 2\. You Can See Everything

*Weekend gross: *$15M** 
*Total domestic gross: *$15M** 
*Last weekend: *New release** 
*Percent drop: *NA**

The real story of this weekend, though, was *You Can See Everything*. The **Elizabeth Holmes** documentary from directors **Nathan Fielder** and **Lance Oppenheim** scored a $15 million debut — while only playing in 855 theaters! The doc averaged $17,544 per theater.

Is the secret to *You Can See Everything* that it’s playing in limited release and attracting *serious* moviegoers this weekend? Would the documentary have grossed $62.7 million had it opened in 3,575 theaters like *Street Fighter*?

## 3\. Other Mommy

*Weekend gross: *$8.4M** 
*Total domestic gross: *$44.9M** 
*Last weekend: *1st** 
*Percent drop: *70**

Last weekend’s top film plummeted 70 percent this weekend, with *Other Mommy* following up its $27.8 million debut with an $8.4 million second weekend. The **Jessica Chastain** horror film was the only holdover from last weekend’s top five. (**Aaron Sorkin**’s *The Social Reckoning* crashed all the way down to No. 13 with just $1.6 million.)

## 4\. Whalefall

*Weekend gross: *$8M** 
*Total domestic gross: *$8M** 
*Last weekend: *New release** 
*Percent drop: *NA**

Welp, I did my part to make *Whalefall* a success. [Despite my glowing review](https://www.theomnicosm.com/popculturology-newsletter-whalefall/) and suggesting that you all go see director Brian Duffield’s adaptation of **Daniel Kraus**’ novel, *Whalefall* failed to crack $10 million this weekend. I guess we’ll try again when Imagine Entertainment releases its adaptation of Kraus’ *Angel Down*.

## 5\. Sense and Sensibility

*Weekend gross: *$7.3M** 
*Total domestic gross: *$7.3M** 
*Last weekend: *New release** 
*Percent drop: *NA**

I know I’m not the target audience, but I had no idea there was a new *Sense and Sensibility* adaptation coming out. It’s hard to compare the new film, which stars **Daisy Edgar-Jones**, with director **Ang Lee**’s 1995 take on the **Jane Austen** novel. The latest adaptation opened across 2,545 theaters, while Lee’s version never played in more than 1,054 theaters.

## Beyond the Top Five

- ***Musk*:** Director **Alex Gibney**’s **Elon Musk** documentary is picking up pace, adding $306,702 this weekend as it expanded from four theaters to 472 theaters. But TikTok doesn’t want you to know that. The social media platform has [banned the film’s promotional account](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/politics-news/musk-movie-tiktok-banned-theaters-showtimes-1236734308/?ref=theomnicosm.com). I’m thinking it might be a problem that we let the Ellison family buy up unprecedented control of American media and social media platforms ...
