As gamers we weren't expecting much out of Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li, but someone must have. It got greenlit, right?
Well, if this weekend's box office numbers are any indication, things aren't off to a hot start for 20th Century Fox film. The Legend of Chun-Li took in $4,650,000 this weekend, playing in 1,136 theaters across the United States. For comparisons sake, The Jonas Brothers: 3D Concert Experience played in 1,271 theaters, and pulled in $12,700,000. Tyler Perry's Madea Goes to Jail is still at number one at the box office for the second week in a row, yet is not in 3D. Go figure.
I haven't seen Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li yet, but I still feel compelled. It's like slowing down to see what could either be a traffic ticket or a horrible car wreck. Is that worth my $10? Not sure, but I sure do like movie nachos.
Did you contribute to Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li's $4,650,000 opening-weekend take?

Oh yeah, Street Fighter.
also I like to eat me some of those awesome gummy bears and drink me a nice, cold Coke ICEE when I'm at the movies
It's the only way we're going to get Street Fighter: The Legend of Zangief.
He fights bears, people. While wearing tights. While Gorbechev cheers him on. Think about it.
I was laughing almost non-stop at how bad this movie was. What made it fun were the random Street Fighter jokes, special move screams and hate-comments yelled out by the audience members.
In the end I was a bit sad, because I was hoping for some awesome Van Damme speeches or Raul Julia one-timers, but got none :(
I was having the worst day of my life and then overheard an interview of one of the actors saying, "I hope it becomes a movie franchise...". I laughed so f'ing hard all my troubles went away!
you would shot minors???? :]
I torrent this movie once I can find it.
Stream it to my houseeeee.
But then again, they probably ARE mooks...
At least we have this week to look forward too.
whoever spent $60million on this piece of shit during a massive worldwide recession deserves to be shot.
But it was so worth it. The movie was entertaining BECAUSE it was terrible. Hilarious.
Think of Noby Noby Boy. It's stupid and terrible, but its soooo good. Same thing.
Btw, Liu Kang looks like a pedophile in the movie.
Street Fighter has a movie? NASH OUT!
And you know she's going to crouch because she has to charge her Spinning Bird Kick (TM).
Chill out people, its just a shitty movie, lots of shitty stuff makes money, I mean look at that Tyler Perry movie, its number 1, that alone kills my faith on the average movie going public.
Yay!
